It's late September and I really should be back at school
 I know I keep you amused
 But I fell 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 collecd 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
