MARY MARY

I know it must be hard
It’s been so hard for you
But did you ever stop to think that
It’s been hard for them too

You say one thing and it
It always means something else
You put one arm around them
And then you pull away

Mary Mary Mary
How do you expect them
Expect them to grow
Mary Mary contrary
You know that those sticks and stones
The do break their bones
Yes those words do hurt them
When they are right you always manage
To telI them that they are wrong
Mary Mary oh Mary
With sad pretty girls in a row

You need so much more love
And it's more than they could ever give
You’re punishing them for your grief
How can they forgive
There has to come a time
When you will realize
They are all strong and beautiful
It’s what they see in you

Mary Mary Mary
How do you expect them
Expect them to grow
Mary Mary contrary
You know that those sticks and stones
The do break their bones
Yes those words do hurt them
When they are right you always manage
To telI them that they are wrong
Mary Mary oh Mary
With sad pretty girls in a row
