Mary Lou (Studio Outtake - 1979) - Bruce Springsteen

Written by：Bruce Sprin

Your scrapbook's filled with pictures

Of all your leading men

Well baby don't me picture in there with them

Don't make me some little girl's dream

That can never come true

Oh baby don't do it to me

I won't do it to you

Mary lou I'm not like all those other guys

Mary lou I won't fill pretty head with their pretty lies

Mary lou and dreams that never never never ever will

Come true

Mary lou I don't deserve to hurt and make you cry like

You do

You seen all the romantic movies

You dream to take the boys home

But when the action fades you're left all alone

You deserve more than this oh your love that can grow

And not playing outtakes girl from some late late show

No no

Mary lou you're not like all those others girls

Mary lou so afraid to shake up that real world

Every night you go out lookin' for

True love's satisfaction

But you'll end up setting for just lights camera action

In another cameo role with some bit player you befriended

You're gonna go broken hearted

Lookin' for that happy ending

Mary lou I know all those movies too

Mary lou now one wants the dreams baby more than I do

But mary lou you're gonna end up

Baby just another ticket stub

Mary lou cryin' alone in the theatre

As the credits roll
