I used to kiss Maxine through the front door screen Standin' on her mama's steps And if her daddy hadn't come along and run me off I know I'd have never left It's a cryin' shame but that's they way it was Something always there to separate us Well I tried not to let it show But everyone seemed to know There's something between Me and Maxine She used to wave at me from across the street Through her bedroom window every night She was almost close enough for me to touch But I still couldn't hold her tight That's how it's been right from the start Always something there to keep us apart Well I tried not to let it show But everyone seemed to know There's something between Me and Maxine There's something between Me and Maxine All the things that came between us Couldn't change a thing Now we're together And that's how we're gonna stay 'Cause our love just grows A little more with every day No I'm never gonna let her go 'Cause in my heart I know There's something between Oh I just want to hold her close 'Cause in my heart I know There's something between There's something between There's something between Me and Maxine Me and Maxine I know I know there's somethin' Somethin' between I know I know there's somethin' Somethin' between Me and Maxine Somethin' between Me and Maxine
