Love isn't always the way to a place we all know
Making up for lost time can be hard

I know this girl named Maggie Mahoney
Stole the dance and left me so lonely
Maggie please just give me a chance tonight
Swing you, sway you out on the dance floor
Your crooked smile making me laugh more
Maggie please just act like you care tonight

And if it's love you think I came here for 
Well you're wrong
Maggie you're wrong
'Cause it's just one dance I've wanted for so long
Maggie so long

I know this girl named Phoney Mahoney
Stole the dance and left me so lonely
Maggie, please just act like you care tonight
Swing you, sway you out on the dance floor
Your crooked smile making me laugh more
Maggie please just give me a chance tonight

If it's love you think I came here for
Well you're wrong
Maggie you're wrong
'Cause it's just one dance I've wanted for so long
Maggie so long

Maggie stay home
'Cause we all know your old tricks
Maggie listen close
'Cause the sound makes us sick

And if it's love you think I came here for 
Well you're wrong
Maggie you're wrong
'Cause it's just one dance I've wanted for so long
Maggie so long

If it's a second chance you're looking fo
Well I'm gone
Maggie so long
