Maggie's Deceptive Charms: A Tale of Heartbreak and Reflection
Lyrics
Wake up, Maggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you
Addressing Maggie, expressing the need to talk
It's late September and I really should be back at school
Time reference, wanting to return to school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
Feeling used despite providing entertainment
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
Expressing maximum effort for Maggie
You led me away from home
Maggie led the singer away from home
Just to save you from being alone
Leaving home to keep Maggie company
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts
Feeling hurt because Maggie took the singer's heart
The mornin' sun when it's in your face really shows your age
Noting the effects of aging but it doesn't bother
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes, you're everything
The singer sees Maggie as everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love, you didn't need to coax
Enjoying Maggie's company effortlessly
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
Reiterating the maximum effort for Maggie
You led me away from home
Maggie again leads the singer away from home
Just to save you from being alone
Leaving home to prevent Maggie from being lonely
You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without
Maggie took the singer's soul, causing pain
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
Desiring friendship but Maggie turned into a lover
But you turned into a lover, and mother, what a lover, you wore me out
Maggie exhausted the singer with her actions
All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning, kick me in the head
Maggie's behavior caused disruption and discomfort
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
Reiterating maximum effort despite difficulties
You led me away from home
Maggie leads the singer away from home once more
'Cause you didn't wanna be alone
Leaving home because Maggie didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried
Feeling unable to leave Maggie due to love
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Considering returning to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playin' pool
Thinking about an alternative career involving pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Considering joining a music band
Oh, Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
Expressing regret about meeting Maggie
You made a first-class fool out of me
Feeling foolish due to Maggie's actions
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
Admitting blindness to the truth about Maggie
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway
Loving Maggie despite the heartache caused
Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
Reiterating regret for encountering Maggie
I'll get on back home one of these days
Planning to return home eventually
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Exclamatory expression of emotions
