Maggie Mae Lyrics

Artist: Rod Stewart

Wake up Maggie, I think I've 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 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

by Carolyn on 7/9/2008 9:29am I also love it. I even named my new little puppy Maggie (Mae) I know it's (may) but I want to keep it in the family. I'm one too. once upon a time I had this album.
by lea on 9/19/2008 2:59pm It's a classic, who can't but love Maggie Mae! It's one of those songs when you hear it (for those of you my age) that it makes you reminisce about what you were doing during that time in your life when this song it came out. sigh
by Gus on 10/5/2008 3:22pm I still love you Clara!

by beto on 12/25/2008 6:14pm beatiful song..
by Maggie on 12/28/2008 8:54am Its an okay song, but I always get this song mentioned to me EVERY TIME I introduce myself to people. My boyfriend even turned to me and said, "Listen, its your song!" when it played on the radio last night.
by Maggie on 1/10/2009 11:59pm hehe. i want someone to sing this to me. would be cute.
by Andreas Sander on 2/15/2009 5:06am One of the greatest songs ever, no doubt about that. It reminds me of my youth, my first love, my days at highschool and so on... I dayly enter "you tube" to listen to Maggie Mae and similar songs. By the way - I'm 53 of age; do you understand my point of view? When Maggie was high in each and every popchart I was at the age of 15. Hearty greetings to each and every of you fellow guys, Andreas
by Fool Like The Song on 3/27/2009 6:12am I dated a woman who handle was MaggiMae, and song lyrics are EXACTLY what happened to me. I returned to school and finished my teaching career. Needless to say I have a love/hate feeling toward the song, and I'm 57.
by Tom on 3/30/2009 1:26pm I love this song. Classic. Although I'm miffed why my friend picked this as his wedding song. I also have a female friend whom I call and truly earned the name "Maggie Mae". It's NOT a compliment.
by Maggie Mae on 4/5/2009 8:53am actually i haven't heard yet this songs..... but i knew the lyrics already coz my friend tommy from oregon told me about this song and had sent me a copy... :)
by Amy on 4/30/2009 2:29pm I had a boyfriend who said when he heard this song he thought of me. Is that a good thing or bad thing.
by Heather on 5/5/2009 11:07pm This song is the best song ever. I listen to it so much. I listen to it before school and it just puts me in the best mood
by Carol on 5/28/2009 8:06pm i know a maggie, and love her very much. this song says it all
by MadiMae on 9/27/2009 1:15pm I love this song cause my daddy sang it to me when i was really little
by Joni on 10/30/2009 11:18am I love this song! I had the album too! Yes it's a good thing, it speaks of the passionate love of the younger man and older woman. She wrecks his bed and makes him laugh and he falls in love.
