the problem is for many years
i’ve lived my life publicly
so it’s hard for me to find a man i trust
i really trust
and every time i find someone i like gotta worry about
if it’s really me that they see
and i thought you were the one ohhhh
deep inside i wish that you could see
i wish that they could see
that i’m just plain ol’ marymary
deep inside i wish that you could see
i wish that they could see
that i’m just plain ol’ marymary
i don’t have a lot of friends
and sometimes i have to wonder
is it cash they see when they look at me
’cause they’re lookin’ for a ride that’s free
so i made the choice to be
good to those who are good to me
don’t judge me or think i’m bitter
for the evil does allow me to see i’m just mary
refrain
i’m just mary just mary just mary
i’m just mary just mary just mary
i’m just mary can’t you see that i i
i’m just mary just mary just mary
i said i said i’m just mary
i’m just mary just mary just mary
deep inside i wish that you could see
deep inside i wish that
that i’m just plain ol’ marymary
i wish that they can see that i’m mary yeah
deep inside i wish that they could see
deep inside i wish that
that i’m just plain ol’ marymary
deep inside i wish that you could see
every day of my life i wish
that i’m just plain ol’ marymary
deep inside i wish that they could see
and i wish i wish i wish
that i’m just plain ol’ marymary
the car i drive the clothes i wear
the diamonds the furs and the house
don’t make the woman
material things don’t mean nothing to me
so i need someone to stand by me and supply my needs
and i’m just plain ol’ mary
why can’t you love the person inside and stop lookin’ outside
deep inside i wish that they could see
i said that i’m just mary
that i’m just plain ol’ marymary
deep inside i wish that they could see
said i wish and i wish and i wish and i wish
that i’m just plain ol’ marymary mjb yeah
deep inside i wish that you could see
if i could give you something else
but i can’t give you nothing but me all day and all night mary
i’m just mary mary mary
deep inside i wish that you could see
it can’t be the clothes or the car i drive ’cause i
that i’m just plain ol’ marymary
deep inside i wish that you could see
see the problem is for many years i’ve lived my life publicly
that i’m just plain ol’ marymary
deep inside i wish that you could see
that i’m just plain ol’ marymary
