Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you
Its late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel Im being used
Oh, Maggie, I couldnt have tried any more
You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart, and thats what really hurts
The morning sun, when its in your face really shows your age
But that dont worry me none in my eyes, youre everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didnt need to coax
Oh, Maggie, I couldnt have tried any more
You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul, and thats a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand.
But you turned into a lover, and, mother, what a lover you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning, kick me in the head
Oh, Maggie, I couldnt have tried any more
You led me away from home cause you didnt wanna be alone
You stole my heart, I couldnt leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddys cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock n roll band that needs a helping hand
Oh, Maggie, I wished Id never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But Im as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway
Maggie, I wished Id never seen your face
Ill get on back home one of these days-
