Mary and I were the perfect picture of love
But my world started spinnin' around
'Til it wasn't enough

I tried to hang on to the heaven she made just for me
But when I slipped and fell it drove her to hell
And lord knows that I hate to see


Mary go round, Mary go round
Mary I wish you'd stop takin' your heartache to town

Why can't you see, that free love ain't free
You'll spin 'til you fall to the ground
Mary I wish that you'd never found

The Mary go round

Nah she's not the first to discover the Devil's playground

But this ain't no game and these demons ain't playing around
They'll make her believe they
Can drain all her pain with a drink

And if she sinks below this burn in my soul
To watch them all laugh as they sing


Mary go round, Mary go round
Mary I wish you'd stop takin' your heartache to town
Why can't you see, that free love ain't free

You'll spin 'til you fall to the ground
Mary I wish that you'd never found
The Mary go round


You'll spin 'til you fall to the ground
Mary I curse the day that you found

The Mary go round
