[Verse 1]
Oh the cold wet wind blew over the heather
You wrote Charlie and Mary for forever
On the back of a rock
That you picked up on the way
And in that perfect moment
I nearly ruined it
By saying I love you
And nearly meaning it
But you know I would never waste those words
Oh when I last saw Mary
She lied and said it was her birthday
Oh when I last saw mary
She lied and said it was her birthday

[Verse 2]
But then she tried to kiss me
And I said don't bother
You know we don't really love one another
And there's no use
In burning out this flame
Oh but then things changed in a way I couldn't predict
She said I love you and it suddenly clicked
That she was only saying what she wanted me to hear

[Bridge]
And I said
Please don't lie to me Mary
And I said
Please don't lie to me Mary
I said
Please don't lie
Oh it makes me cry in bed
Oh I said
Please don't lie
Oh it makes me cry in bed
Oh I said
Please don't lie
Oh it makes me cry in bed
[Outro]
But she said
Shut your mouth
You don't know what you're talking about
Oh she said
Shut your mouth
You don't know what you're talking about
