Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely Someone calls on me And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse And curse those faults in me
And then along comes Mary Then along comes Mary And does she want to give me kicks , and be my steady chick And give me pick of memories Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations No one ever sees
When we met I was sure out to lunch Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch Sweet as the punch
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks Whose sickness is the games they play And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes As who is most to blame today
And then along comes Mary Then along comes Mary And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality
