Mary (Album Version)

Mary - Oingo Boingo

Written by：Danny Elfman

Oh Mary was unhappy with the life that she led

She was a simple girl without much to say

So one day she upped and left her dreary home

And she left all her friends to wander all alone

And at first she was afraid

She was so far away

From her home

But slowly she got to like it anyway

Oh Mary won't you please come

Mary won't you please come

Mary won't you please come

Well in time she found that

Mountain that she had been taught

Her whole life that she must avoid

And though at first it hurt and no one could comfort her

She finally came to appreciate it

And she liked it she liked it

Oh wasn't she surprised

And though still alone she grew so much inside

Oh Mary won't you please come

Mary won't you please come

Mary won't you please come

And after a time she became so sublime

She could look in people's eyes and read their minds

Though her hands would sometimes bleed and occasionally

She would long for her past and the memories they bring

She decided to return to her old hometown

And her heart was burning with all the things she found

Oh Mary won't you please come

Mary won't you please come

Mary won't you please come

Please come home

Yi yeah yi yeah yi yeah

Oh yi yeah oh oh

Yi yeah oh yi yeah

Oh yi yeah oh yi yeah

Oh

So Mary came back and at first

No one recognized her face

And all her friends were all a little bit afraid

When they heard what she had to say

They all slowly backed away

And her family took her aside and put their arms around her

They said Mary won't you please come back to us now

There is still time to repent for all your sins

And Mary started to cry when she realized

That she'd never come home again in her life

Oh Mary won't you please come

Mary won't you please come

Mary won't you please come

Please come home yi yeah yi yeah

They yi yeah yi yeah

Come home yi yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah

Come home

Home

Come home yi yeah yi yeah yeah

Yeah yeah

Come home yi yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah

Come home home

Come home yi yeah yeah yeah

Come home yi yeah yeah yeah
