maggie may with matthew sweet

Susanna Hoffs

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 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 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 heart I couldn t leave you if I tried

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 helpin 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 but I love you anyway

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