I used to kiss maxine through the front door screen
StandinÂ’ on her mamaÂ’s steps
And if her daddy hadnÂ’t come along and run me off
I know IÂ’d have never left
ItÂ’s a cryinÂ’ shame but thatÂ’s they way it was
Something always there to separate us

Well I tried not to let it show
But everyone seemed to know
ThereÂ’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 couldnÂ’t hold her tight
ThatÂ’s how itÂ’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
ThereÂ’s something between
Me and maxine
ThereÂ’s something between
Me and maxine

All the things that came between us
CouldnÂ’t change a thing
Now weÂ’re together
And thatÂ’s how weÂ’re gonna stay
Â’cause our love just grows
A little more with every day

No IÂ’m never gonna let her go
Â’cause in my heart I know
ThereÂ’s something between
Oh I just want to hold her close
Â’cause in my heart I know
ThereÂ’s something between
ThereÂ’s something between
ThereÂ’s something between
Me and maxine
Me and maxine
I know I know thereÂ’s somethinÂ’
SomethinÂ’ between
I know I know thereÂ’s somethinÂ’
SomethinÂ’ between
Me and maxine
SomethinÂ’ between
Me and maxine
