Lyrics

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 feel 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 face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all 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 heart and that's a pain I could do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
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
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Find myself a rock and roll band
That needs a helping hand
Oh maggie I wish I'd never seen your face

You made a first class fool out of me
Now I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
