    The one KEY element of the song that you guys may have missed is that Maggie was an OLDER woman. ("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." She is a cougar, who lures this young schoolboy (let's hope it's college, lol) away from home, his studies, etc. using her sensuality. She's probably having a midlife crisis and needs him to feel young again, and he's so in love (or lust) that he's "as blind as a fool can be" and is being toyed with for her amusement and to keep her company. The age gap is only alluded to the ONE time in the song, but it changes the whole dynamic.

      No, certainly not college. No one in the UK would have referred to college/uni as 'school' at this period. He's about to begin a year (let's hope it's his last, lol) at secondary school, and his youth gives the song the edginess I've always associated with it.

      Not only that, but at the end of the song he hasn't left her yet. "I'll get on back home...one of these days." I always liked that little bit of a dark ending, where he's sort of stuck in limbo.

    'You Wear It Well', is a similar sounding song. 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy', is a disco song he did. 'Hot Legs' is another good one, but he's had numerous hits over the years.

      @ Steven Ellers re Soccer Star ; Well known fact : Rod Stewart is the principal / victim / perpetrator in the most well-known urban legend of modern times. It happened early in 1971 right at the time of Maggie May. Everybody without exception believed it. Any comments? I'm a wacky Christian now so there's no way I would now mention this greatest of all urban legends if I hadn't have lived through it. Rod Stewart is the principal in without a doubt the most classic urban legend of our time. God bless Scotland. Rod was Scottish.

      Steve,
      Greetings and God's blessings.
      I responded to your comment in the main comment section so everybody could read it. Now that I posted it to the main comment section it looks like the comment I posted to the main/original comments section ( as opposed to a response which would not be seen by readers unless they looked up the responses to your comment ) was retained under your heading also. I guess God really wants you to read it . A reply to you was where I first wrote the main comment. I've done this a few times so I know the format. I've learned to cut and paste my response to the main section so more people can read it. Usually a person gets one or the other between the posting placed in a reply or posted in the main comment when one cuts and pastes from a reply to a comment. I call a lot of prayer lines. I called one to get some prayer support before I made the main comment post. The one I called before posting had a lady named Fiona who was from Scotland that prayed for the posting. Otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned Scotland as my last comment. Pretty interesting. Rod Stewart in an interview discussed the 1971 urban legend with Katie Couric of Yahoo News in 2012. It's easily available on the internet. One can come back and edit comments anytime. There's an old saying that there's no writing just rewriting. At the risk of leaving a few proofreading errors I'm going to send this now and know that I can edit in the days to come.
      Yours in the Lord ,
      Brother Matt

He just kind of stepped back and smiled. He said, "You did? Did anyone else lose their virginity to Maggie May?" and about 25 people raised their hands...both men and women. It was so funny.
