Maggie May Lyrics - Singles - Rod Steward

Wake up Maggie 

I think I got something to say to you; 

it's late September and I really should be back at school. 

I know I keep you amused 

but I feel I'm being used 

oh 

Maggie 

I couldn't have tried anymore. 

You lured me away from home 

just to save you from being alone. 

You stole my heart and that's what really hurts. 

The morning sun 

when it's in your face 

really shows your age 

but that don't worry me none 

in my eyes you're ev'rything. 

I laughed at all of your jokes 

my love you didn't need to coax 

oh 

Maggie 

I couldn't have tried anymore. 

You lured me away from home 

just to save you from being alone. 

You stole my soule 

that's 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 couldn't have tried anymore. 

You lured me away from home 

'cause you didn't want to be alone. 

You stole my heart 

I couldn't leave you if I tried. 

I suppose I could collect my books and get back to school. 

Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool. 

Or find myselfe a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand. 

Oh 

Maggie 

I wish I'd never seen your face. 

You lured me away from home 

just to save you from being alone. 

You stole my heart and that's what really hurts. 

The morning sun 

when it's in your face 

really shows your age 

but that don't worry me none 

in my eyes you're ev'rything. 

I laughed at all of your jokes 

my love you didn't need to coax 

oh 

Maggie 

I couldn't have tried any face 

you made a first-class fool out of me 

but I'm as blind as a fool can be 

you stole my heart but I love you anyway. 

Maggie 

I wish I'd never seen your face. 

I'll get on back home one of these days.
