lyrics

HEY MARY

I met a woman named Mary
and I liked her right from the start
She told me that she was married
but she lived with an empty heart

Mary said she was happy,
she really believed it was true,
but the fact was that she was buried
in a lie that everyone knew

And Oh Oh! Mary never got laid,
she thought it was normal that way
I doubted that she was even straight,
I could tell by her eyes she was gay

Hey Mary, where have you been all my life?
Hey Mary, don't you see you don't have to be his wife?

She used to stay home at night
She never came out to have fun
Someone's gotta put on the light
and bring her into the sun

I wondered what I should do,
and would she find out on her own?
Someone's gotta see her through, I thought,
I'm not gonna leave her alone

So Mary, take off your wedding ring,
'nd I'll kiss you and make you smile
Free yourself from that fatal string,
come and love me for a while

Hey Mary, take off your wedding ring,
Free yourself from that fatal string,
I'll kiss you, and I'll make you smile
Kiss you, and make you smile
