Maggie May Lyrics
By Rod Stewart

Welcome to this Maggie May lyrics page where you'll find my demo on how I play this song on the acoustic as well as a video clip of this great tune and the lyrics to the song.

This song was written by Rod Stewart and released back in 1971. The song became a #1 hit in the UK and the USA. Stewart says the song is basically a song about the first woman he had sex with at the Beaulieu Jazz Festival.

--- Start Of Maggie May Lyrics ---

Wake up maggie I think I got something to say to you
Its late september and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused ... but I feel Im being used
Oh maggie I couldnt have tried ... anymore
You lured me away from home ... just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and thats what really hurt

The morning sun when its in your face really shows your age
But that dont worry me none in my eyes youre everything
I laughed at all of your jokes ... my love you didnt need to coax
Oh, maggie I couldnt have tried .... anymore
You lured me away from home ... just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and thats 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 couldnt have tried ... anymore
You lured me away from home ... cause you didnt want to be alone
You stole my heart I couldnt leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddys 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 Id never ... seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me ... but Im as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway

Maggie I wish Id never seen your face
Ill get on back home one of these days
