Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving
|
Oh I can't let you into my life
|
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a wife
|
|
When I met I met you for pleasure
|
And the good times of running around
|
Then you seemed to be so understanding
|
From the weight that's been draggin me down
|
The good times are coming between us
|
Though you helped me I'm carrying my load
|
And I've never felt more like a lover but I'm running right off the road
|
|
Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving
|
Oh I can't let you into my life
|
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a wife
|
|
Oh it's nothing you said or invited
|
And it's nothing you did that was wrong
|
Our love together was heaven but I promised myself to be strong
|
|
Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving
|
Oh I can't let you into my life
|
Cause I know it would end in grieving and the last thing I need is a wife
|
