She came into my life like a bombshell
One look and I fell for little Mary Jean
Mary Jean, Mary JeanShe walked cool with her head always held high
The glow in her eyes made her look like a queen
A little queen, Mary JeanShe took a hold of my heart and held me under a spell
I guess she knew me real well
Just why we hung together through all those tears
I couldn't tell you now in a million yearsI didn't think that the cause of my downfall
Would be pretty and small like little Mary Jean
Mary Jean, Mary JeanAnd I couldn't know when I held her that first night
Feeling ever so right that one day it would end
In a scene, Mary JeanNow she's gone, yes, she's gone and I think I'll be alright
But then the phone rings at night
She's on the line again and it's just no fun
We've got a bad connection, Mary I've gotta runHey now, hey now
I just had to tell her to go away
Hey now, hey now
It's so unexciting around here todayNow she's gone, yes, she's gone and I think I'll be alright
But then the phone rings at night
She's on the line again and it's just no fun
We've got a bad connection, Mary I've gotta runOh MaryI'm standing here looking down at my shoes
With a case of the blues over little Mary Jean
Mary Jean, Mary Jean
A little queen, Mary Jean, Mary JeanOh yeah, Mary Jean, Mary JeanBut she was so pretty and small
Oh, she was the cause of my downfall
We used to fuss and fight
And I dream about her every single nightOh Mary Jean
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Mary Jean, Mary Jean
