 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Everybody wants something from you
Everybody want a piece of Mary
Lush valley all dressed in green
Just ripe for the picking

God I want to get you out of here
You can ride in a pink Mustang
When I think of what we've done to you
Mary can you hear me

Growing up isn't always fun
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons
They see you cry they lick their lips
Well butterflies don't belong in nets

Mary can you hear me
Mary you're bleeding, Mary don't be afraid
We're just waking up and I hear help is on the way
Mary can you hear me
Mary, like Jimmy said, Mary don't be afraid
"cause even the wind even the wind cries your name"

Everybody wants you sweetheart
Everybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pinup girl
They got her armed as they buy and sell her
Rivers of milk running dry
Can't you hear the dolphins crying
What'll we do when our babies scream
Fill their mouths with some acid rain

Mary can you hear me
Mary you're bleeding, Mary don't be afraid
We're just waking up and I hear help is on the way
Mary can you hear me
Mary, like Jimmy said, Mary don't be afraid
"cause even the wind even the wind cries your name"
