Lyrics

Mary Go Round

And Mary is her name and cheating was her game.
She was so much fun until I became the one
To give my heart and soul, but it was all in vain
She walked out on my love, but now sheā??s back again

Thereā??s two roads leaving town, but only one lane coming back
You say this place has dried up and living here ainā??t where itā??s at
But before you leave again, and do something youā??ll regret
Lets walk up to 6th Avenue to the place where we first met.

Thereā??s your Mamaā??s house on the corner It broke her heart when you ran away
Thereā??s the school house where I met you And all the friends we made
The old playground is still standing Though itā??s seen better days
Like the one I remember when I used to watch you play.

Chorus:

Mary climb up, Mary slide down, Mary, Iā??ll catch you
Mary see-saw, Mary donā??t fall. Iā??m glad that I met you
Mary swing high up to the sky, free like a bird,
Donā??t you fly away from this town.
I just canā??t play this Mary Go Round.

Lead

Change up

And Mary, I still love you,
After all that youā??ve done
I need to be with you.
Can you ever love just one

Chorus:
Mary climb up, Mary slide down, Mary, Iā??ll catch you
Mary see-saw, Mary donā??t fall. Iā??m glad that I met you
Mary swing high up to the sky, free like a bird,
Donā??t you fly away from this town.
I just canā??t play this Mary Go Round.
And Mary is her name and cheating was her game.
She was so much fun until I became the one.
