The Impressions — Madam Mary

Once upon a time back in my life I became addicted to a girl and what a vice She misused men, about every thought her wrong But I would sweat it out, my love for her was just that strong I never believed in love potion Never known such distortion So off I set to find A witch doctor to ease my mind Madame Mary if you'll have the time Work out some sweet spell That it might ease my mind I never thought a spell could ever follow me But I was wrong for this girl so tenderly She possessed me in ways I'd never seen Then took my heart and tore it apart Oh, she was so very mean Now with all the pain and sorrow Could leave me by tomorrow I'd gladly pay the price And right on the sacrifice Madame Mary, help me if you will There's not too much more of me Before I'm over the hill She said, run to your grocery store Find an old potato Don't forget the buttermilk Bring a ripe tomato Shave the back hair of your cat A layin' on the floor Take a taste and don't let it waste That might help ya, I don't know I'm off to find her, Madame Mary I'm off to find her, Madame Mary Every day, she had a way She had a way, now what I say Gotta find her, gotta find her Madame Mary, Madame Mary I'm off to find her, Madame Mary I'm off to find her
