Story Behind The Song
The setting is disguised as an irritated lover talking to her mate but it's really her sub-concious talking, trying to make the person understand that she chose her life circumstances.
Song Description
On the outside it's the rescuer being frustrated with one who wants to be rescued. In reality, it's an inner conflict-kind of the little devil who sits on your shoulder poking at you.

Lyrics
I Am Not Mary
Get a life
Get a job
Don?t look to me to save you
I?m not your God
I cannot make you complete
I cannot make you whole
I cannot tell you
What you need to know
Chorus
I am not Wonder Woman
I am not Mary
I cannot save you
I cannot carry you
Get the facts
Next time before you go
You chose to come to this plane
Learn the ropes
I cannot make it easy
That would spoil the fun
You have to crawl before you can run
Chorus
I am not Wonder Woman
I am not Mary
I cannot save you
I cannot carry you
Chorus
I?m not like Jesus
You carry the cross you choose
Drink of your own cup
I will not die for you
Chorus
I am not Wonder Woman
I am not Mary
I cannot save you
I cannot carry you
