[Verse 1]
Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me but I could've sworn
That the kiss that was meant truly for me is leaving me torn
How can love be so kind and so gentle then turn and be so cold?
And why must my arms feel so empty for what my heart still holds
[Chorus]
Mary, how could you go
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you, baby
But I just can't seem to, baby
Mary, how could you go
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you, baby
But I just can't seem to, baby
[Verse 2]
Now was there something I could've done to change this outcome here?
As if I blinked my eyes and suddenly she up and disappeared
How can love escape your grasp without you ever letting go?
And until she returns to my offer, I may never know
[Chorus]
Mary, how could you go
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you, baby
But I just can't seem to, baby
Mary, how could you go
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you, baby
But I just can't seem to, baby
[Refrain]
M-A-R-Y H-O-W C-O-U-L-D Y-O-U B-E S-O C-R-U-E-L T-O
M-E M-Y love
M-A-R-Y H-O-W C-O-U-L-D Y-O-U B-E S-O C-R-U-E-L T-O
M-E M-Y love
[Outro]
Mary, how could you go
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you, baby
But I just can't seem to, baby
Mary, how could you go
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you, baby
But I just can't seem to, baby
Mary, how could you go
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you, baby
But I just can't seem to, baby
Mary, how could you go
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you, baby
But I just can't seem to, baby
Mary, how could you go
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you, baby
But I just can't seem to, baby
