Lyrics
Dirty Maggie Mae
You said you're leaving me today
Well if you go you better never come back
You better leave me alone
Just leave me sitting here singing my old blues songs
I don't need to see your face
Because I can lie to myself
And I can put my heart on a shelf and pretend
That I don't love you anymore
Dirty Maggie Mae
You got your hooks in me tight
And the only time that I can breathe is when I'm lying next to you at night
And I know it's the last place that I should be
But I'm here to give it all away
Everything and my sanity
Because I can lie to myself
And I can put my heart on a shelf and pretend
That I don't love you anymore
Dirty Maggie Mae
Please don't leave me today
I don't know what I'd do if you never came back
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me sitting here singing my old blues songs
I just need to see your face
Because I can't lie to myself
And I tried I tried to put my heart on a shelf and pretend
That I don't love her and I don't need her anymore
