lyrics

MAGGIE
by Derek James

Maggie won't you move over
There's too much room between us on the sofa

I've been wanting to kiss you
I bet those lips are as sweet as tiramisu

We're all alone together
Here on this piece of leather
Our own secret hideaway

Chorus
You don't have to look the other way now baby
Come on Maggie won’t you be mine
You and I can be together let’s be crazy
Come on Maggie open your eyes
You can’t make me want you more
I’ve been waiting for fruit to fall on me

You were young when I met you
I spent the fall just trying to forget you

But you'd come home for the weekend
Hanging ‘round with your friends, I'd try to sneak in

Now here we are together
Safe from the dreary weather
Hair's raising on my arms

You don't have to look the other way now baby
Come on Maggie won’t you be mine
You and I can be together let’s be crazy
Come on Maggie open your eyes
You can’t make me want you more
I’ve been waiting for fruit to fall on me

We can be friends, rules they can bend
No one ever has to know
Alone in the dark, get set on your mark we go
You can make my hunger go
Woah woah oh oh oh oh oh

We're all alone together
Here on this piece of leather
Our own secret hideaway

You don't have to look the other way now baby
Come on Maggie won’t you be mine
You and I can be together let’s be crazy
Come on Maggie open your eyes
You can’t make me want you more
I’ve been waiting for fruit to fall on me
