Melissa Etheridge - Maggie May Lyrics

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

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
