Every Picture Tells a Story

1. Maggie May

   Lyrics: Maggie May

   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 anymore
   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 anymore
   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 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
   
   Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
   
   I'll get on back home, one of these days
