(Vs.1)

The problem is for many years

I lived my life publicly

So it's hard for me to find a man I trust, (I really trust)

And every time I find someone I like

Gotta worry about

If it's really me that they see and I thought you were the one



(Chorus)

Deep Inside I wish that you could see

That I'm just plain old Mary

Deep inside I wish that you could see

That I'm just plain old Mary, Mary



(Vs.2)

I don't have alot of friends

And sometimes I have to wonder

Is it cash they see when they look at me?

'Cause they're lookin' for a ride that's free

So I made the choice to be

good To those who are good to me

Don't judge me or think I'm bitter

For the evil God allowed me to see

I'm just Mary



(Chorus)



I'm Just Mary (repeat)

Im just Mary, can't you see that I-I-I

I'm just Mary (repeat)

I said I'm just Mary, oh yeah

Repeat 2 times with ad lib

The car I drive, the clothes I wear

The diamonds, the furs and the house

Don't make the woman

Material things don't mean a thing to me 'Cause I

need someone to stand by me

I need someone

Supply my needs and not just to trade on Mary Why

can't you love the person inside

And stop lookin' outside?



Repeat with ad lib and fade
