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 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 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 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 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 collect my books and get on back to school Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool Or find myself a rock 'n' 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 But I'm as blind as a fool can be You stole my heart, but I love you anyway Maggie I wish that I'd never seen your face I'll get a ride home one of these days
