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 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 eyes 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 any more 
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 helping 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 led 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 go on back to school 
Or steal my daddy´s cue and make a living at 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 
I´d never seen your face 
I´ll get on back home, one of these days
