I used to kiss Maxine through the front door screen

Standin' on her mama's steps

And if her daddy hadn't come along and run me off

I know I'd have never left

It's a cryin' shame but that's they way it was

Something always there to separate us



Well I tried not to let it show

But everyone seemed to know

There's something between

Me and Maxine



She used to wave at me from across the street

Through her bedroom window every night

She was almost close enough for me to touch

But I still couldn't hold her tight

That's how it's been right from the start

Always something there to keep us apart



Well I tried not to let it show

But everyone seemed to know

There's something between

Me and Maxine

There's something between

Me and Maxine



All the things that came between us

Couldn't change a thing

Now we're together

And that's how we're gonna stay

'Cause our love just grows

A little more with every day



No I'm never gonna let her go

'Cause in my heart I know

There's something between

Oh I just want to hold her close

'Cause in my heart I know

There's something between

There's something between

There's something between

Me and Maxine

Me and Maxine

I know I know there's somethin'

Somethin' between

I know I know there's somethin'

Somethin' between

Me and Maxine

Somethin' between

Me and Maxine
