I love the tone that's in your laugh
Gasping for an extra breath
Waiting for the time to pass
I believe in days ahead
Don't spend another night alone
Cross and wishin you were dead

Mary, you shouldn't let him make you mad
You are the best that you can
Mary, after all the pain has gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man

ohhhh

I've had it easy now you see,
When I'm down you're always there
standing by to comfort me
someday we'll go round the world,
I'll make the journey so sublime
I know you're not the travelling girl

Mary, you shouldn't let him make you mad
You are the best that you can
Mary, after all the pain has gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man

ohhhh

Cause I'd give everything I have
to get all the things that bring you joy
you can have one day
pure and simple happiness
until that moment comes, I'll be here where I've always been
I'm gonna be your friend until the day I die

Mary, you shouldn't let him make you mad
You are the best that you can
Mary, after all the pain has gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man

ohhhh
