Maggie May (Live on Top Gear, BBC, 10/6/71)
[Verse 1]
Wake up Maggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
[Chorus]
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, but I love you anyway
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I laughed at all of your jokes
My love you didn't need to coax
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have triеd anymore
You led me away from homе
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Or find myself a rock and roll band
That needs a helpin' 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
[Post-Chorus]
Oh Maggie
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Outro]
Oh Maggie, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
I'll get on home, one of these days, yeah, I wanna be home, woo
Oh Maggie
