Lyrics

Mary

You used to turn away

Whenever I had caught your stare

I know sometimes I made you feel as if you wasn't there

Girl you made such an effort

Just to get my attention

How can you blame me baby, cause I didn't know

Girl you never told me, tell me why, oh why

[Hook]

Mary

I know that you want me

So I'm saying I'm sorry

That I never gave you time

Mary

To see your heart, ay

But It's time we should say

I can never be the man that you need

Sometimes I wish on stars that we could have lived on mars

There would be no temptation, that's just imagination

Baby because of Lisa, or was it down to Yesha

If you'd had fought your corner, we'd be happy ever after

So save your questions, cause there ain't no answers

I can't help, you're on your own

[Hook]

[Speaking]

Mary

I wish you'd have said something

How was I supposed to know?

I'm sorry for how I treated you, and kept you hanging

I guess you've gotta be cruel to be kind

I'm sorry

[Hook]

I know that you want me

So I'm saying I'm sorry

That I never gave you time

Mary

To see your heart, ay

But It's time we should say

I can never be the man that you need

[Hook]
