Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you It's late September and I really should be back at school I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more You led me away from home just to save you from being alone You stole my heart and that's what really hurts The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover, you wore me out All you did was wreck my bed and in the morning kick me in the head Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore You led me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried (Really long Guitar Improv Bit) I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face You made a first-class fool out of me But I'm as blind as a fool can be You stole my heart but I love you anyway (guitar bit again) Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face I'll get on back home one of these days

• “Maggie May” foi escrita por Rod Stewart e Martin Quittenton, e inclui um solo de guitarra de 30 segundos intitulado “Henry”, também composto por Quittenton.
• A música nasceu da própria experiência de Stewart, descrevendo o primeiro encontro sexual com uma mulher mais velha no Beaulieu Jazz Festival.
• Embora lançada inicialmente como lado B de “Reason to Believe”, DJs passaram a preferir “Maggie May”, que acabou sendo reclassificada como A‑side e chegou ao número‑um tanto no Reino Unido quanto nos Estados Unidos em outubro de 1971.
• A gravação fez parte do álbum *Every Picture Tells a Story*, que simultaneamente liderou as paradas de álbuns nos EUA e no Reino Unido, um feito compartilhado por poucos artistas como os Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel e Beyoncé.
• Em uma apresentação ao vivo no “Top of the Pops”, o grupo The Faces foi acompanhado pelo DJ John Peel, que fingiu tocar mandolim, embora o mandolim da gravação fosse tocado por Ray Jackson, do Lindisfarne.
• Em 2004, a revista *Rolling Stone* classificou “Maggie May” em 130º lugar na lista das 500 Maiores Canções de Todos os Tempos.
