Lyrics

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.
