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
