(I'll Never Be) Your Maggie May

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 [Chorus] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] --- (I'll Never Be) Your Maggie May - Suzanne Vega
