lyrics

Mary knows she's no saint
But they treat her like something she ain't
She goes from place to place 
lookin for salvation with another hard case

The West Side was easily won
with no regard for the smoking gun
She didn't care who looked
as she slipped it back into her pocketbook

She'll tell you you're the one
She'll tell you she's just having fun
and hang you out to dry
Mary, don't go and make me cry

"I'd give it all up for you"
Each time I say it it becomes less true
But I'm in too deep to quit
And I'm just startin to get the hang of it

Mary knows it's no thrill
paying off those doctor's bills
She says "let's just sit and not make a sound"
She's tryin to figure out how to turn it around
