"Hey Mary" lyrics

Big city dreamer, little ballerina
You were made for the magazines
Once and a while you could work up a smile
That could light up a silver screen
You missed a few dances, but young romances
Are never easy as they seem
Hey, Mary

Like some kind of riddle, I got stuck in the middle
Just tryin' to act my best
You were playin' the part like it was some kind of art, yeah
Safe to say I was impressed
From under his arm you worked up a charm
That stuck us in this mess
Hey, Mary

So don't tell me that you want me, baby
'Cause he'll be askin' where you been
Girl, you're never gonna come to your senses
If you're stuck on the fences again

You're stuck to a lover and duckin' for cover
You were gettin' out for good this time
A long list of reasons and the change of the seasons
And you still couldn't leave them behind
The worst one at winnin', I'm a sucker for women
That never make up their damn mind
Hey, Mary

So don't tell me that you want me, baby
'Cause he'll be askin' where you been
Girl, you're never gonna come to your senses
If you're stuck on the fences again

We both know that you'll go home
And crawl in next to him just to feel alone
The way you turn it off and on just scares me
He won't believe a word you say
Every little story, you fabricate
And I'd just come and steal you away if you tell me
Hey, Mary

So don't tell me that you want me, baby
'Cause he'll be askin' where you been
Girl, you're never gonna come to your senses
If you're stuck on the fences again

Girl, you're never gonna come to your senses
If you're stuck on the fences
Never gonna come to your senses
