Lyrics
I know that a life
Is there for living
How we abuse
The time we're given
I'm not that girl
I remember very well
There were things that I'd never do
Oh my name is Mary Ann
From the opposite side of town
My name is Mary, Mary Ann
It's one week and a day
Since I took those thoughts away
And found Mary Ann
I won't pretend
Of that I am certain
I am not someone
Who craves attention
The scars that I hide
Constantly remind
me of the things I thought I'd never do
Oh my name is Mary Ann
From the opposite side of town
My name is Mary, Mary Ann
It's one week and a day
Since I took those thoughts away
And found Mary Ann
You have helped me overcome
To forgive the things I have done
To forget who I'd become
Oh my name is Mary Ann
From the opposite side of town
My name is Mary, Mary Ann
It's one week and a day
Since I took those thoughts away
And found Mary Ann
It's one week and a day
You took my thoughts away
And found Mary Ann
I've found Mary Ann
I've found Mary Ann
