she's my inspiration

my part time occupation

the catalyst and my consumation 

in my quest for education 

no one could ever take her place and 

no assimilation, so save you false accusations

i accept no imitations  



so that's the situation without further hesitation

let me continue my demonstration

for the congregation

to break it down for all y'all simple and plain

i got a love for a girl named mary jane 



[chorus:]



whatcha know about mary jane?

how ya'll feel about mary jane

ya'll don't know about mary jane

'cause she's my main thing 



whatcha know about mary jane?

how ya'll feel about mary jane

ya'll don't know about mary jane

she makes my heart sing 



as i walk around the edges of my mind 

in an attempt to contemplate 

what it really is that makes me tick 

I'm reminded of emotions that saturate 

my thoughts like sunshine 

it always ain't the first time 



that i'm feelin' this, feelin that

i'm feelin' that

they don't know about my baby 

and the healing power

it makes a strong man stronger

and a crazy man sing

i'm talkin about mary jane



mary's potent, see, yes it opens me

and makes me see things in a way 

i'd never thought i'd see

mary ease pain

and mary never complains 

mary jane penetrates the brain

y'know what i'm sayin' 



[chorus]



 i'm not the first 

and i probably won't be the last

i ain't mad at mary 'cause

mary always makes me laugh

mary brings light to the darkness

let me spark one up quickly 

before they come and get me 



don't listen to what they say 'cause

mary never contrary

mary mary very

nececessary extraordinary

me and mary to the mortuary

just one kiss on her sweet lips

and i become a visionary



mary never the same 

mary don't change

mary make a man walk a mile in the rain

mary mary never temporary

she's my sanctuary

and when the love comes down 

i'm the beneficiary 



some say if it's this good

then it must be wrong

but mary makes me feel so good

'cause mary lasts so long

mary mary got no secondary

sweeter than a cherry

blackberry, or a strawberry 



without mary, life ain't complete

'cause mary don't lie, mary don't steal 

and mary don't cheat

let me break it down for all y'all 

simple and plain 

i've got a love for a girl named mary jane 



[chorus] 



i'm in love with with mary jane

i'm not the only one

mary likes to play around

i let her have her fun



she's not the kind of girl 

that you can just tie down

mary likes to spread her love

and turn my head around 



i'm in love with mary jane 

she's my main thing

she makes me feel alright

makes my heart sing



and when i'm feelin' low

it comes as no surprise

turns me on with her love

takes me to paradise



do you love me, mary jane? 



[chorus]
