Mary Roberts
She waits alone outside the factory wall
Nobody knows just what she came here for
She stands there waiting for a man who'll never come
Spends her life displaying everything that he did wrong
And she knows she always waits too long
When all the strength is gone
How often can love die
She wants to cry
Little Mary Roberts pushes carts around the street
Poor little rich girl she found it hard make ends meet
She stands alone waiting for a train
Since her daddy's gone she's close to insane
And she knows she always waits too long
When all the strength is gone
How often can love die
She wants to cry
It takes a lifetime to start again
Lost among the nightlife she'll never find a friend
And she knows she always waits too long
When all the strength is gone
How often can love die
She wants to cry
No lovers comfort no real bed to lay
Little Mary Roberts she died all alone today
Nobody knows just what she came here for
She stands there waiting for a man who'll never come
Spends her life displaying everything that he did wrong
And she knows she always waits too long
When all the strength is gone
How often can love die
She wants to cry
Little Mary Roberts pushes carts around the street
Poor little rich girl she found it hard make ends meet
She stands alone waiting for a train
Since her daddy's gone she's close to insane
And she knows she always waits too long
When all the strength is gone
How often can love die
She wants to cry
It takes a lifetime to start again
Lost among the nightlife she'll never find a friend
And she knows she always waits too long
When all the strength is gone
How often can love die
She wants to cry
No lovers comfort no real bed to lay
Little Mary Roberts she died all alone today
