(i`ll Never Be) Your Maggie May lyrics

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 we may appear

 but that will change from day to night

 would you ever see within?

 underneath the skin?

 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

 you still appear some kind of friend

 

 And so you go

 no girl could say no 

 to you
