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 wishing

you were dead

Mary, you shouldn't

let 'em make you mad

you hold the best you can

And Mary

after all the pain is gone

I'm always gonna

live to be your man

Oh-woah-woah

oh-woah-woah

I've had it easy now you see

when I'm down

you're always there

standin' by to comfort me

Someday we'll go

'round the world

I'll make the

journey so sublime

I know you're not

a travellin' girl

Mary, you shouldn't

let 'em make you mad

you hold the best you can

And Mary

after all the pain is gone

I'm always gonna

live to be your man

Oh-woah-woah

oh-woah-woah

'Cause I'd give

everything I have

forget all the things

that bring me joy

If you could 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 'em make you mad

you hold the best you can

And Mary

after all the pain is gone

I'm always gonna

live to be your man

Oh-woah-woah

oh-woah-woah

oh-woah-woah
