Mary

Mary I saw you, last night with him again.
When asked you told me that he was just a friend.
But friends don’t talk like that.
Friends don’t laugh so loud.

You know as I do, they gossip in this town.
And if you leave your man you’ll never live it down.
But I can see you can’t be helped
You lit a fire and burned yourself
now you will hurt him Mary, I know you will.
I know you will.

The house has shaken. The wood has turned to rot.
The smell of your hotel will never be forgot.
But I can see you can’t be helped.
You lit a fire and burned yourself.
Now you will hurt him Mary, I know you will.
Yes you will hurt him Mary, I know you will. I know you will.

Darlin’ you’re a fool, to let this stranger on your skin.
All the while he’ll never see you fade.
The guilt is easier because you know he’ll love again.
Yes you know he’ll love again.
