See, I got this friend, Mary
I met her as a young boy
Took all my attention, I remember the first time
She touched my lips, yeah
And I was worried, so we went slow
Then she took over my body, I let go
I gave in to you, I love what you do
Most times you make me feel better
But sometimes, I just regret ever meeting you
She's the kind of friend who breaks
You up, and sometimes pulls you down
Never leaves you all alone, even when she ain't wanting to
Just accept it
Oh Mary, oh Mary, please, don't leave me now
It started at the weekend
I thought it's best to go slow
Then it took five nights a week
When I found myself alone with you
It's what you do
They say I regret it
All this time that I spent with
My mind in a dream
Where I'm happy to be
I could never be the man I have become, now without you
Oh Mary, sometimes I still regret every meeting
She's the kind of friend who breaks
You up, and sometimes pulls you down
Never leaves you all alone, even when she ain't wanting to
Just accept it
Oh Mary, oh Mary, please, don't leave me now
Been together such a long time, so I know your every move
Your rhythm feels like it's mine, oh darling, and I feel your groove
Any nights that I'm spending without you
Don't compare to those nights when I do
But now I can bear it, 'cause I'm over regretting
Took some time to reflect, and I know my life is better for me
She's the kind of friend who breaks
You up, and sometimes pulls you down
Never leaves you all alone, even when she ain't wanting to
Just accept it
Oh Mary, oh Mary, please, don't leave me now
Oh Mary, oh Mary, please, don't leave me now
