Maggie May Lyrics

by Melissa Etheridge

Wake up Maggie I think I 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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e75280-melissa_etheridge~maggie_may_lyrics.html ]
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 cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart, 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 want to be alone
You stole my soul; I love you anyway

I suppose I should collect my books and get on back to school
Maybe steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Maybe find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand
Oh Maggie I, I couldn't have tried anymore
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my soul, I couldn't leave you if I tried

I couldn't leave you
I couldn't leave you
No, no, no
I couldn't leave you
Whoa, Maggie
