Mary and I were the perfect picture of love

But my world started spinnin' around

'Til it wasn't enough

I tried to hang on to the heaven she made just for me

But when I slipped and fell it drove her to hell

And lord knows that I hate to see



Mary go round, Mary go round

Mary I wish you'd stop takin' your heartache to town

Why can't you see, that free love ain't free

You'll spin 'til you fall to the ground

Mary I wish that you'd never found

The Mary go round



Nah she's not the first to discover the Devil's playground

But this ain't no game and these demons ain't playing around

They'll make her believe they

Can drain all her pain with a drink

And if she sinks below this burn in my soul

To watch them all laugh as they sing



Mary go round, Mary go round

Mary I wish you'd stop takin' your heartache to town

Why can't you see, that free love ain't free

You'll spin 'til you fall to the ground

Mary I wish that you'd never found

The Mary go round



You'll spin 'til you fall to the ground

Mary I curse the day that you found

The Mary go round
