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 I keep you amused
but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie,
I couldn't have tried any more

You lured me away from home
just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart
and that's what really hurt

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

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

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 and roll band
that needs a helpin' 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
I'll get on back home
one of these days

Rod Stewart
