She blew into town with the summer corn
Sweet and golden, freshly from the farm
I'm telling you, the way my buddies warned
Don't go thinking you'll protect her from harm
Figure out what you're gonna do
And what you should have done
'cause your foot may land into a different shoe
Don't fall in love with Mary Lou
Learn from our mistakes
You both dream, but only one awakes
So maybe she awoke and I never did
I don't wanna go into detail now
'cause it's the end result that we all admit
The difference is only in the whys and hows
Figure out what you're gonna do
And what you should have done
We're all taking champagne for our blues
'cause we're in love with Mary Lou
Learn from our mistakes
You both dream but only one awakes
Figure out what you're gonna do
And what you should have done
And we'll be down here and we'll all drink to you
Saying "he's in love with Mary Lou"
Enjoy it for a while
Penetrate her fortune teller smile
Ah, but there's always that moment of truth
When you're in love with Mary Lou
Oh, when you start thinking
that we've got it all wrong
And it's different for you
You're in love with Mary Lou
Mary Lou!
You're just another one of the chosen few
When you're in love with Mary Lou, too
You both, you both, you both dream...
