Lyrics Maggie May (Live 1995) - Melissa Etheridge

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
