Wake up Maggie, I think I've 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 fell I'm being used

Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more

You led 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 eyes 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

You led me away from home

Just to save you from being alone

You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without



All I needed was a friend to lend a helping 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 any more

You led 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 collecd my books and go on back to school

Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living at playing pool

Or find myself a rock and roll band

That needs a helping hand

Oh Maggie, I wished 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

You stole my heart but I love you anyway

I'd never seen your face

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