lyrics

Oh Mary won't you take a chance with me
oh mary open up your arms and see
that when I hold you he can't reach you no more
no more living with one hand on the door
with one hand on the door
no more

Wondering just what it'd take to get close to you
worrying myself to sleep an awkward point of view
trying to catch your eye to throw your heart a curve
whenever you'd look my way...girl I'd lose my nerve
oh I'd lose my nerve

oh Mary if you only knew
the things that I could do
for you

I used to see you walking...walking the streets of town
mascara leaking and running along the ground
I knew he hurt you...didn't know what to say
now I'm all grown up today might be the day
today might be the day

And so it goes you see right through me
but soon you're gonna run right to me
'cause I'm gonna take you away from here
where the sun is shining
and the coast is clear

Oh Mary won't you take a chance with me
oh mary open up your arms and see
that when I hold you he can't reach you no more
no more living with one hand on the door
with one hand on the door

oh Mary if you only knew
the things that I could do
for you

Oh Mary
Oh Mary
