Vega, Suzanne - (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

An answer to Rod Steward. He was so rude to his Maggie Mae.

She tells the story of this song. I like it a lot.

Well if you act like a dumb thot, you get treated like one.

i love it

I feel like the reject in this song ;(

I feel you mate.

Bought The CD - Songs in Red and Gray - LOVE IT ! Every Song should have been a Hit ! : )

The CD/Album Songs in Red and Gray I feel Should have gone Platinum, I Love ALL the Songs. Suzanne's Voice has such a Beautiful Range & such a Beautiful Soft touch to her voice. Mixed with Key Board Music as well. I can't say enough for Songs in Red and Gray - SIMPLY Lovin' it - Thank You Ever So Much Suzanne for this, I found out about it Late, but better late than Never. For those who Favor her awesome hit " LUKA " check out Suzanne's Awesome Performance of Luka on the Juleshow here on YouTube,.. The Orchistra Compliments Suzanne and the Song in EVERY Way !!! I Listen to her music Every Nite to fall asleep to - Puts me on Cloud 9,.. I know,.. Crazy Right ? But Truthfully ,.. This CD has a different sound and she does it all so VERY WELL.
