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 my love, I'm feeling 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 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 any more
You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's what really hurts

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and 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 and that's what really hurts

Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days
