You used to turn away
Whenever I had caught your stare
I know sometimes I made you feel as if you wasn't there
Girl you made such an effort
Just to get my attention
How can you blame me baby, cause I didn't know
Girl you never told me, tell me why, oh why

[Hook]
Mary
I know that you want me
So I'm saying I'm sorry
That I never gave you time
Mary
To see your heart, ay
But It's time we should say
I can never be the man that you need

Sometimes I wish on stars that we could have lived on mars
There would be no temptation, that's just imagination
Baby because of Lisa, or was it down to Yesha
If you'd had fought your corner, we'd be happy ever after
So save your questions, cause there ain't no answers
I can't help, you're on your own

Mary
I wish you'd have said something
How was I supposed to know?
I'm sorry for how I treated you, and kept you hanging
I guess you've gotta be cruel to be kind
I'm sorry

[Hook]

I know that you want me
So I'm saying I'm sorry
That I never gave you time
Mary
To see your heart, ay
But It's time we should say
I can never be the man that you need
