[Instrumental Intro]

[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

I know I keep you amused

But I feel I'm being used

[Chorus 1]

Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore

You led me away from home

Just to save you from being alone

[Post-Chorus 1]

You stole my heart and that's what really hurts

[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

I laughed at all of your jokes

My love you didn't need to coax

[Chorus 1]

Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore

You led me away from home

Just to save you from being alone

[Post-Chorus 2]

You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without

[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

All you did was wreck my bed

And in the morning kick me in the head

[Chorus 1]

Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore

You led me away from home

'Cause you didn't want to be alone

[Post-Chorus 3]

You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried

[Guitar Solo: Ronnie Wood]

[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

Or find myself a rock and roll band

That needs a helpin' hand

[Chorus 2]

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

[Post-Chorus 4]

You stole my heart, but I love you anyway

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Maggie! I wished I'd never seen your face

I'll get on back home, one of these days

Ooh
