Yeah, yeah, oh, oh 
The problem is, for many years 
I`ve lived my life, publicly 
So it`s hard for me to find a man I trust 
I rarely trust 
And every time I find someone I like 
Gotta worry about if it`s really me 
That they see 
And I thought you were the one, oh 
1 - Deep inside I wish that you could see 
That I`m just plain old Mary 
Mary 
Repeat 1 
I don`t have a lot of friends 
And sometimes I have to wonder 
Is it cash they see when they look at me 
Cause they`re looking for a ride that`s free 
So I made the choice to be 
Good to those who were good to me 
Don`t judge me or think I`m bitter 
For the evil God`s allowed me to see 
I`m just Mary 
2 - I`m just Mary, just Mary, just Mary 
Repeat 2 (3x) 
Repeat 1 (4x) 
It`s the car I drive 
The clothes I wear 
The diamonds, the furs, and the house 
Don`t make the woman 
So I need someone 
To stand by me 
And supply my needs 
And I`m just plain old Mary
