Maggie May

Rod Stewart/Martin Quittenton

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 that I keep you amused but I feel like I'm being used

Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more

Yeah you lured me away from my 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 it really shows your age

But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything

I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax

Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more

Yeah you lured me away from my home, just to save you from being alone

Yeah you stole my heart and 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 you kicked me in the head

Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
Yeah you lured me away from my home 'cause you didn't want to be alone

Yeah you stole my heart, couldn't leave you if I tried

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

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

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

Oh Maggie I wish that I'd never seen your face

You made a first-class fool out of me

But I'm as blind as a fool can be

Yeah you stole my heart but I love you anyway

Oh Maggie I wish that I'd never seen your face

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

Yeah I will
