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, yeh
And I was wary
So we went slow
Then she took over my body
I let go
I gave into 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 picks you up
Then sometimes pulls you down
Never leaves you all alone even
When she ain't wanted 'round
Just accept it
Oh Mary
Oh Mary please don't leave me now


It started at the weekend
I thought it best to go slow
Then it turned five nights a week when
I found myself alone with you
It's what you do
They say I'll regret it
All this time that I spend 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 ever meeting you


She's the kind of friend who picks you up
Then sometimes pulls you down
Never leaves you all alone even
When she ain't wanted 'round
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 its mine
Oh darling
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 meeting you


She's the kind of friend who picks you up
Then sometimes pulls you down
Never leaves you all alone even
When she ain't wanted 'round
Just accept it
Oh Mary
Oh Mary please don't leave me now
