Maybe my mind is playin tricks but I could've sworn
That the kiss that was meant truly for me is leaving me torn
How could love be so kind and so gentle and turn and be so cold
Why must my arms feel so empty for what my heart still holds

[Hook:]
Mary how could you go
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you baby
But I just can't seem to baby
Mary how could you go
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you baby
But I just can't seem to baby

[Verse 2:]
Was there something I could've done to change this outcome here
As if I blinked my eyes and suddenly she up and disappeared
How can love escape your grasp without you ever letting go
And until she returns to my offer I may never know

[Hook:]
