Mary Lyrics

[Chorus]
Mary, Mary, why you wanna do me this way?

[Verse 1]
I was dumb enough not to settle down when you wanted to
Now I'm sitting here going crazy trying to crawl back to you

[Chorus]
Mary, Mary, why you wanna do me this way?

[Verse 2]
But I was smart enough to come to my senses
Be who you need me to be
And if you say that I'm too late
I'll curl up and die in misery

[Chorus]
Mary, Mary, why you wanna do me this way?

[Bridge]
I remember our first kiss on the fourth of July
I'll never miss another one of those
I'll be by your side

[Verse 3]
If my foolish heart was wrong
This truly was never meant to be
Well, I only hope that he'll count his lucky stars
And loves you as much as me
[Chorus]
Mary, Mary, why you wanna do me this way?
Mary, Mary, why you wanna do me this way?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
