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  any more
 You lured  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 your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax
 Oh Maggie I couldn`t have tried any more
 You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
 You stole my sole that's a pain I can do without
 All I needed was 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 any more
 You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
 You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried
 I suppose I could collect my books and get 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 wish 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
 Intro part again
Maggie  I wish  I've never  seen your face
