Mary woke up forty five before school
She wanted to be an A grade type of kid
Make her family proud and get a job
Maybe meet someone and fall in love
Had so much to give and not much to ask
She met a boy downtown at 17
And he told her all the stories of the world they'd grow up to
And they sat inside his one bedroom apartment
He made love and walked outside the door and said
That's all your good for Mary
How could you sleep with that girl
When you never said that you loved her
You're taking parts and pieces of other people it's heartless
Where did you grow and where have you been
To treat someone like that I just don't understand
Cause that's our friend Mary
We've all been friends since we were kids
How could you sleep with that girl
When you never said that you loved her
You're taking parts and pieces of other people it's heartless
Where did you grow and where have you been
To treat someone like that I just don't understand
Cause that's our friend Mary
We've all been friends since we were kids
