Lyrics
Mary-Anne's my favorite girl
but she's living in her Hollywood world
her daddy owns a 4 star hotel
mommy owns another
on Saturday's she's never around
'cause she's at the hippest party in town
and she tells me that she's settling down
but I waited, and waited, and waited
she told me to let it go
but I'm the one who let her in
Mary-Anne shows up wasted at my door
Mary-Anne takes me bed, leaves me the floor
Mary-Anne you're such a whore
Mary-Anne, Mary-Anne
I met her at a rock-n-roll show
she was diggin' on some rum and some coke
and she told me she was ready to go
"take it or leave it," I couldn't believe it
Mary-Anne says love at first sight
shouldn't be confused with spending a night
but she'll come 'round when the timing is right
so I'm waiting and waiting and waiting
she tells me to let it go
but I'm the one who let her in
Mary-Anne shows up wasted at my door
Mary-Anne takes me bed, leaves me the floor
Mary-Anne you're such a whore
Mary-Anne, Mary-Anne
she told me to let it go
but I'm the one who let her in and I don't want to be a
sad, weak, frail, meek, love-struck geek
who's waiting up for her again
Mary-Anne shows up wasted at my door
Mary-Anne takes me bed, leaves me the floor
Mary-Anne you're such a whore
Mary-Anne, Mary-Anne
