Deep Inside

The problem is, for many years

I've lived my life publicly

So it's hard for me to find a man

I trust, I really trust

And every time I find someone I like

Gotta worry about if it's really me

That they see

And I thought you were the one, oh

Deep inside I wish that you could see

That I'm just plain old Mary, Mary(Mary)

Deep inside I wish that you could see

That I'm just plain old Mary, Mary(Mary, Mary)

I don't have a lot of friends

And sometimes I have to wonder

Is it cash they see when they look at me

Cause they're looking for a ride that's free

So I made the choice to be

Good to those who were good to me

Don't judge me or think I'm bitter

For the evil God's allowed me to see

I'm just Mary

I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary

I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary

(I'm just Mary, can't you see that I, I)

I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary

(I said, I said I'm just Mary)

I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary

(Oh yeah, yeah)

Deep inside I wish that you could see

That I'm just plain old Mary, Mary(Mary, Mary)

Deep inside I wish that you could see

That I'm just plain old Mary, Mary(Mary, Mary)

It's the car I drive

The clothes I wear

The diamonds, the furs, and the house

Don't make the woman

Material things don't mean a thing to me

So I need someone to stand by me

And supply my needs

And I'm just plain old Mary

Why can't you love the person inside

And stop looking outside

I said I'm just Mary, eh

All day, all night, I'm Mary, Mary, Mary, oh

Said I wish and I wish and I wish and I wish

I wish that they could see that I'm Mary J.

MJB, yeah

If I can give you something else

But I can't give you nuthin' but me

All day and all night

I'm just Mary, Mary, Mary

It can't be the clothes or the car I drive
