Maggie May

Rod Stewart · Absolutely Live [2011]

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 anymore



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 anymore



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 anymore



You led me away from home 'cause you didn't wanna 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

Make a living out of playing pool

Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand

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

You stole my heart but I love you anyway



Maggie I wished I'd never seen your face

I'll get on back home one of these days



Whoo

Hoo
