Mary

Tell me Mary is there something that I could say?

That could make a girl like you look my way

Oh Mary there’s just no means to an end

And I swore that I’d never do this again

But tell me is there something I can do?

Cause I think I’m in love with you

Help me Mary do whatever is right

Cause I’ve been up 'till morning just thinking about you all night

Oh Mary it’s not your fault it’s me

I’m just as foolish and foolish could possibly be

It may be foolish, but I have to admit it’s true

I think I’m in love with you

Hear me Mary cause I have to make my plea

Steal my soul and take the life right out of me

Oh Mary it’s become more than I can bear

So please excuse me if I happen to stare

I’m just searching your lovely eyes for a clue

Cause I think I’m in love with you

Yes, I think I’m in love with you

(*Originally written as fiction, but probably somehow true. My father used to say "tell me Mary, mother of God, what have I done to deserve this," I think this inspired the first line I wrote, "tell me Mary." Mary was also my mothers middle name, also could be inspired Bruce Springsteen's Mary in "Born To Run.*)
