Mary

Mary had a real good man
Answer to her dreams
Settled down and married him
Felt her life complete

'Til he followed her to school one day
She could not find her way
She promised that she would obey
But he hit her anyway
No matter how she proved her love
She could not find her way
Just an ordinary girl who loved her man

Mary did all she could do
Tried her best to please
Hid black eyes and busted ribs
Then she tried to leave

But he followed her to school one day
She could not find her way
She promised to stay cool, baby
But he hit her anyway
How she knew she had to go (How she wanted to go)
But her heart got in the way
Just an ordinary girl who loved her man

Take a look in the mirror (Hmm)
Tell me what you see
Come a bit closer (Mmm, mmm)
Mary could be you or me
Poor, poor Mary (All)
All she wanted, wanted was to be a good wife
Love at any cost and she paid with her life

Girl, go your own way
Can't prove your love, no, that way
Don't let him treat you badly
Love yourself, learn from Mary

Girl, go go your own way
Can't prove your love that way
Girl go, go your own way
Love yourself and learn from Mary

Girl, go go your own way
Can't prove your love that way
Girl go, go your own way
Love yourself and learn from Mary

He followed her to school one day
She could not find her way
She promised to stay cool, baby
But he hit her anyway
How she knew she had to go (She knew she had to go)
But her heart got in the way
Just an ordinary girl who loved her man

Take a look in the mirror (Yeah)
Tell me what you see
Come a bit closer
Mary could be you or me
Poor, poor Mary
Poor Mary, all she wanted was to be a good wife
Love at any cost and she paid with her life (Oh)

Girl, go go your own way
Can't prove your love that way (Can't prove your love)
Girl go, go your own way (That, love yourself)
Love yourself and learn from Mary
