Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way? 

I was dumb enough not to settle down when you wanted to 

Now I'm sittin' here going crazy trying to crawl back to you 

Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way? 



But I was smart enough to come to my senses 

Be who you need me to be 

And if you say that I'm too late 

I'll curl up and die in misery 

Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way 



I remember our first kiss on the 4th of July 

I'll never miss another one of those 

I'll be by your side 



If my foolish heart was wrong, 

this truly was never meant to be 

Well I only hope that he'll count his lucky stars 

and love you as much as me 



Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way [3x]
