Maggie May lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Wake up Maggie, I think I got somethin' 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

[Chorus 1]
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone

[Post-Chorus 1]
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
[Post-Chorus 2]
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 1]
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore
You led me away from home
'Cause you didn't want to be alone

[Post-Chorus 3]
You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried

[Guitar Solo: Ronnie Wood]

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus 2]
Oh Maggie, I wished 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
[Post-Chorus 4]
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Maggie! I wished I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home, one of these days
Ooh
