The problem is
For many years
I´ve lived my life
Publicly
So it´s hard for me to find a man I trust
I really trust
And everytime I find someone I like
Gotta worry about
If it´s really me
That they see
And I thought you were the one, yeah

[CHORUS]
Deep inside I wish that they could see
That I´m just plain ol´ Mary, Mary
[repeat]

I don´t have a lot of friends
And sometimes I have to wonder
Is it cash they see when they look at me
´Cause they´re lookin´ for a ride that´s free
So I made the choice to be
Good to those who are good to me
Don´t judge me, don´t think I´m bitter
For the evil does allow me to see I´m just Mary

[HOOK]
I´m just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
I´m just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
I, I, ohhhh

[CHORUS]

The problem is
For many years
I´ve lived my life
Publicly
And everytime I find a man
I, I can´t trust him
Ohhhh
