![]() ![]() You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone Anyone who has been in a relationship like this knows they can get out anytime, but a lot of times you are not sure if you really want too. Not a pain he does not want, just one he does not need. Lines 4 and 5 are the same as the above paragraph, yet line 5 changes it by saying it is a pain he could do without. Yet, despite that, line 2 and 3 once more confirms the man’s love for her. And maybe it just isn’t about sex, but rather this relationship the two are in. This is all sorts of new to him, yet I am willing to bet that this is far from the first time for the woman. Line 1 may refer to the woman’s age, but I think it is more of a metaphor for just how much more experience this woman is. You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your ageīut that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything Maybe she is cheating with him, maybe she is just too out there, but whatever that may be, the final line shows that he loves her, and she does not love him back. ![]() He no doubt wanted to do right by her, but more likely than not he ended up doing things that he never envisioned he could. “Lured me away from home” is not literal. She might not even be using him on purpose. I do not believe it is out of spite, but more along the fact that the woman may not know what she wants, but enjoys herself with this man. He couldn’t have tried any more, meaning he gave everything he had, and she does not love him back. ![]() But, I bet at the end of the night, he’s the one paying the bar tabs, hence “feel I’m being used”. “I know I keep you amused”, she laughs at his jokes, has fun with him. The narrator of this song is with a woman who he doesn’t suddenly realize his using him, but realizes he has to say it to her. You stole my heart and that's what really hurt You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face You stole my heart, but I love you anyway Oh, Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playin' pool I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do withoutĪll I needed was a friend to lend a guiding handīut you turned into a lover, and mother, what a lover, you wore me outĪll you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning, kick me in the head I laughed at all of your jokes, my love, you didn't need to coax The mornin' sun when it's in your face really shows your ageīut that don't worry me none, in my eyes, you're everything You stole my heart and that's what really hurts Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used It's late September and I really should be back at school We’re used to watching Rod dance his way across the stage, so seeing him seated for the entirety of “Maggie May” would be a little hard to watch if not for the fact that even when abiding by his own rules, Rod finds it near impossible to sit still – standing up, dancing in place, and reaching out to interact with his fans, arguably one his favorite parts of performing in a live setting (and one of ours, too!).Wake up, Maggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you The result? One of Stewart’s greatest live performances ever, dazzling with a setlist that included a particularly soulful spin on “Maggie May,” complete with a wonderful, minute long intro that showed off Rod’s vocal abilities without the distraction of a band behind him.įun Fact: In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked “Maggie May” number 131 on their list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. ![]()
