(I'll Never Be) Your Maggie May - Suzanne Vega
I'll never be your Maggie May
The one you loved and left behind
The face you see in light of day
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
I'd 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
Oh there's the way I may appear
But that will change from day to night
Could you ever see within
Underneath the skin
Could I believe you had that sight
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
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
'Cause it must be so
And you'll forgive or you will not
And so a woman leaves a man
So a world turns on it's end
So I'll see your face in dreams
Where nothing's what it seems
Still you appear some kind of friend
And so you go
No girl could say no
To you
