'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?
instrumental
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
