I'll never be your Maggie May the one you loved and left behind the face you see in light of day and then you cast away that isn't me in that bed you'll find
I'd rather take myself away be like those ladies in Japan rather paint myself a face conjure up some grace or be the eyes behind a fan
And so you go no girl could say no to you
there's the way I may appear but that will change from day to night would you ever see within? underneath the light? could I believe you had that sight?
And so you go no girl could say no to you
I'll never be your Maggie May the one you loved and then forgot I'll love you first and let you go because it must be so and you'll forgive or you will not
and so a woman leaves a man and so a world turns on it's end so I'll see your face in dreams where nothing's what it seems still you appear some kind of friend
