[00:01.000] Suzanne Vega - (I'll Never Be) Your Maggie May
[00:03.000]
[00:08.470] I'll never be your Maggie May
[00:13.850] the one you loved and left behind
[00:19.240] the face you see in light of day
[00:22.940] and then you cast away
[00:25.330] that isn't me in that bed you'll find
[00:30.450] I'd rather take myself away
[00:35.520] be like those ladies in Japan
[00:41.400] rather paint myself a face
[00:45.130] conjure up some grace
[00:47.210] or be the eyes behind a fan
[00:53.540] And so you go
[00:58.920] no girl could say no to you
[01:13.620] there's the way we may appear
[01:19.640] but that will change from day to night
[01:24.710] would you ever see within?
[01:28.230] underneath the skin?
[01:30.900] could I believe you had that sight?
[01:58.830] And so you go
[02:05.720] no girl could say no to you
[02:19.000] I'll never be your Maggie May
[02:25.520] the one you loved and then forgot
[02:30.480] I'll love you first and let you go
[02:34.230] because it must be so
[02:36.460] and you'll forgive or you will not
[02:42.050] and so a woman leaves a man
[02:47.390] and so a world turns on it's end
[02:53.680] so I'll see your face in dreams
[02:56.550] where nothing's what it seems
[02:58.910] you still appear some kind of friend
[03:05.190] And so you go
[03:11.210] no girl could say no to you
