Oh Maureen Lyrics - Home Of The Brave - Black 47

Oh Maureen 

Maureen got married to a sanitation worker 

She's livin' out in Brooklyn with her mother in law 

And when her old man's sleepin' 

Maureen comes creepin' down to the local bar 

She stands there by the juke box in her violent lipstick 

Givin' all the old men heart attacks 

Oh Maureen, dial my number baby 

You know that I will always take you back 

Beat me, whip me, make me write bad checks 

Ooh, I'd do anything for you 

Oh Maureen, don't be so mean 

You know, I'll always be in lust with you 

You know, I'm out there waitin' for you somewhere 

I can feel the steam comin' off-a you 

Oh Maureen, don't be so mean 

You know, I'll always be in lust with you 

C'mon 

Maureen, I never stopped thinkin' about you 

Though you kicked me out on the street 

Sayin', Take your songs and your Stratocaster 

See if they're half as good in bed as me" 

Then one night out on the road, called you on a pay-phone 

"Forgive me, darlin', I'll be back in a week" 

A voice said, "Hey stupid, she want a man not a kid 

Maureen is comin' back to Canarsie with me" 

Beat me, whip me, make me write bad checks 

Ooh, I'd do anything for you 

Oh Maureen, don't be so mean 

You know, I'll always be in lust with you 

You know, I'm out there waitin' for you somewhere 

I can feel the steam comin' off-a you 

Oh Maureen, don't be so mean 

You know, I'll always be in lust with you 

Yeah 

Oh, oh, oh, oh Maureen 

You just don't know how I feel 

Oh, oh, oh, oh Maureen 

I think, I'm ready to scream 

Oh, oh, oh, oh Maureen 

You just don't know how I feel 

Oh, oh, oh, oh Maureen 

Oh Maureen, just the very thought of you 

Makes me weak at the knees 

Just passin' by our old apartment 

Sends my body shiverin' 

Throwin' caution to the wind, I'm comin' back to Brooklyn 

I'm gonna save you from yourself 

Put on your violent lipstick, meet me by the fire escape 

Can't bear to think about you wrapped around somebody else 

Beat me, whip me, make me write bad checks 

Ooh, I'd do anything for you 

Oh Maureen, don't be so mean 

You know, I'll always be in lust with you 

You know, I'm out there waitin' for you somewhere 

I can feel the steam comin' off-a you 

Oh Maureen, don't be so mean 

You know, I'll always be in lust with you 

C'mon 

Oh Maureen, I've been so bad 

I deserve everything, Maureen 

I need some of your sweet salvation 

I deserve everything 

Oh Maureen, Maureen, Maureen 

Oh Maureen
