[Verse 1:]
  Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me 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 arms I may never know
    [Hook:]
