Oh Mary, oh Mary, somehow we don't seem right
Somewhere deep inside, there's goin' on a terrible fight
The south winds blow so cold
And I feel both young and old
In the middle of the night, I hear your voice say come

The TV blue lights rise a thousand stories high
And the suicide victims hurry home to write their lines
I don't know if there's much to life
'Cause I'm working nine 'til five
Oh Mary, oh Mary, must do something right

Hey, I'm in love, I'm in love
Thank God above that I'm not alone tonight
Could a pretty young girl change my world?
That I'm not alone tonight

You gimme love even-steven, I'm not alone to cry
Won't be no tears shed
Won't be no tears shed

You gimme love even-steven, I'm not alone to cry
Won't be no tears shed
Won't be no tears shed

See a million girls pregnant and pushing prams
The baby prostitute drives a new Mercedes-Benz
Don't need no education now
She gets treated anyhow
And when it don't work out, she gets up on a line
Hey, oh Mary, oh Mary, somehow we don't seem right
Girl, you showed me the way, you had to be a burning light
You were a candle with a golden flame
Yeah, the world must feel the shame
And in the middle of the night, I'll always see your face

Hey, I'm in love, I'm in love
Thank God above that I'm not alone tonight
Could a pretty young girl change my world?
That I'm not alone tonight

You gimme love even-steven, I'm not alone to cry
Won't be no tears shed
Won't be no tears shed

I'm in love, I'm in love
Thank God above that I'm not alone tonight
Could a pretty young girl change my world?
That I'm not alone tonight
