What Mary Didn't Know

[Chorus]

What Mary didn't know

What Mary didn't know

Didn't know, she did not know

She was a little girl

In a black-and-white world

She didn't know, didn't know

[Verse 1]

Mary took a look inside of my head

Saw me looking at the color red

Saw how my eyes worked, how they linked to my brain

Yeah, she could see it, but, was it the same?

[Pre-Chorus]

Mary'd never seen color herself

Just read descriptions in her books on the shelf

Thought she knew all about the ways that we see

But was it the same for me?

[Chorus]

What Mary didn't know

What Mary didn't know

Didn't know, she did not know

She was a little girl

In a black-and-white world

She didn't know, didn't know

[Verse 2]

Mary sweet thing didn't realize

The world around her yeah, with her own eyes

Was there more to sight than words could tell?

She could explain it very well

[Chorus]

What Mary didn't know

What Mary didn't know

Didn't know, she did not know

She was a little girl

In a black-and-white world

She didn't know, didn't know

[Bridge]

One day, Mary left her room behind

Opened her eyes and opened her mind

And she was shocked by the things that she saw

The world of color, well, it left her in awe

Mary, Mary, with your jaw on the floor

Mary, Mary, thought you knew it all, knew it all

[Chorus]

What Mary didn't know

What Mary didn't know

Didn't know, she did not know

She was a little girl

In a black-and-white world

She didn't know, didn't know
