I love the tone that's in your laugh
   Gasping for an extra breath
   Waiting for the time to pass
   I believe in days ahead
   Don't spend another night alone
   Cross and wishing you were dead
  
   Mary, you shouldn't let it make you mad
   You done the best you can,
   And Mary, after all the pain is gone
   I'm always gonna live to be your man
  
   ooh...ohhh
  
   I've had it easy now you see
   When I'm down you're always there
   Standing by to comfort me
   Someday we'll go round the world
   And make the journey so sublime
   I know you're not a travelling girl
  
   Mary, you shouldn't let it make you mad
   You done the best you can,
   And Mary, after all the pain is gone
   I'm always gonna live to be your man
  
   ohhhh ohhhh
  
   Cos I'd give everything I have
   To get all the things that bring you joy
   You could have one day of pure and simple happiness
   Until that moment comes
   I'll be here where I've always been
   I'm gonna be your friend
   Until the day I die
  
   Mary, you shouldn't let it make you mad
   You done the best you can,
   And Mary, after all the pain is gone
   I'm always gonna live to be your man
  
   oohh ooohh oohhhh
