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
