Dear Maggie

Dear Maggie
Can you help me please?

I remember the first time I saw your face
You were forbidden fruit, but I had to have a taste
Don't know if I believe in love at first sight
But thoughts of you plagued my mind baby, all that night

I remember when you kissed me for the first time
I thought, "What's happening to me, am I losing my mind"
Your love shot through me, right down into my bone
I thought, "Oh God please help me," protect my weary soul

Dear Maggie
Can you help me please?
Dear Maggie
Your love has knocked me to my knees

I know it ain't easy lovin' a man like me
But I'm trying baby, yourself is the hardest thing to be
Your mama talks about me, don't believe a word she said
Your papa wants to get me, he says the only good Kelly is dead

Dear Maggie
Can you help me please?
Dear Maggie
Your love has knocked me to my knees
Dear Maggie
I'm on the road again, so far from my home
Dear Maggie
Come and get me girl, I'm tired of being alone

I would scream you a love song, but I might make too much noise
But sometimes you can't be heard, unless you raise your voice
So I'm sitting here baby, staring at this blank page
I'd put my love in a letter, but I can't figure out what to say

Dear Maggie
