1. 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      2. 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      3. 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?      4. instrumental      And so you go   no girl could say no   to you      5. 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      6. 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
