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 hold 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

I'll make the journey so sublime

I know you're not a travelling girl

Mary, you shouldn't let it make you mad

You hold 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

forget all the things that bring me 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 hold the best you can,

And Mary, after all the pain is gone

I'm always gonna live to be your man

oohh ooohh oohhhh
