Lyrics
There's Something about Mary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
His friends would say stop whining,
They've had enough of that.
His friends would say stop pining,
There's others girls to look at.
They've tried to set him up with tiffany and indigo,
But there's something about mary that they don't know.
Mary, there's just something about mary.
Well, his friends say, look life's no fairy tale,
That he should have some fun, he's suffered long enough.
Well, they may know about domestic and imported ale,
But they don't know a thing about love.
Well, his friends would say he's dreaming
And living in the past,
But they've never fallen in love,
So his friends need not be asked.
His friends would say be reasonable,
His friends would say let go,
But there's something about mary that they don't know.
Mary, there's just something about mary.
