On the east coast she's living

Like a queen by a throne

And when I drive there

I drive to the places she goes

The boys on the island, the men at the docks

Say "give her my pleas, if she comes back to me

She'll get anything she wants"

She was my dear Mary

But I lost her in May

She told me it hurt her to know the words she'd have to say

Like "the world is so funny, and our love it ain't real

You got the passion in your head, but it's not in this bed

It's just a way we can't feel"

Oh, but I can't stop thinking

No, nothing ever slows down

If I didn't love her, then why is she always around?

When I wake up in the morning, to when the lights go out

She's there in my head, I'm alone in my bed, she's off on the town

When I got home this evening

There was a note on my door

It read "you poor soul, you better not think of me anymore

I know you been tracking my each and every move

But baby we're done, there's no dance, no song

I'm just someone you knew"

Please help me, dear doctor

Tell me what it is I can do

I want to live healthy, is there something that I can use?

This happened before and she was my nurse

She asked me my name, she helped with my pain, but now it is worse

She asked me my name, she helped with my pain, but now it is worse
