3. Maggie May (Rod Stewart, 1971)
In this songs lyrics, Rod Stewart addresses
Maggie May, an older woman who has lured little Rod away from home and into a hedonistic and abusive relationship. This is the ultimate cougar song, more so than Mrs. Robinson (whose lyrics dont really tie in with the homonymous character from The Graduate). Rod is torn between her devotion to Maggie and his true place in life; adolescence. Rod sings from the point of view of a confused teenager, which is why listening to this song and imagining a little acne-ridden 14-year-old Rod with that raspy voice is funny.
The morning sun, when its in your face, really shows your age! But that dont worry me none, in my eyes youre everything!
