Maggie

(Billy Ed Wheeler)



Maggie, how I wish we'd never met

Never kissed or tried to fall in love

For Maggie fashion's not the same as love

It's just a game we're soon tired of.



We were too young to marry anyhow

Hot blood was all there was between us

Now there's the kids, a house and more than bills to pay

It breaks my heart, we're not in love

Maggie, Maggie, how I wish we'd never met?



Maggie many tears ago

Love we thought would grow was dead and gone

Maggie, it's hard to pretend

When things that need to end keep draggin' on.



It's not quite fair to raise our kids like this

They're not too young to know we're fakin'

But nothing's ever said out loud and time takes on

Clean to the bone our souls're achin'

Maggie, Maggie, how I wish we'd never met.



Maggie, Maggie...
