Mary Says

How long has it been

Since I held you near?

How long will it be

Till I have you right here?

You say that it hurts

I can't disagree

But how can I hold on

To someone who's leaving me?

And Mary says she's gonna be OK

She tells me things are getting busier these days

And Mary says she's gonna be alright

You know how much I need her in my life

Goodbye yesterday

I see my dreams walking away

And Mary looks just like she did before

Except she don't love me

She don't love me anymore

Oh

I could shake your hand

Or I could kiss you goodbye

But I just might break down

Looking in your brown eyes

So what happens next?

Do I listen to my mind or heart?

I don't know where to start

Feeling alright again

And Mary says she's gonna be OK

She tells me things are getting busier these days

And Mary says she's gonna be alright

You know how much I need her in my life

Goodbye yesterday

I see my dreams walking away

Ooh

And Mary looks just like she did before

Except she don't love me

Oh

And Mary says she's gonna be OK

She tells me things will be much easier some day

And Mary says she's gonna be alright

You know how much I'm missing her deep inside

And Mary says she's gonna be OK, yeah, yeah

And Mary says she's gonna be OK

Oh

She's gonna be alright

She's gonna be alright

Ooh

Oh
