Marshall Crenshaw Mary Jean lyrics

She came into my life like a bombshell
One look and I fell for little Mary Jean
Mary Jean, Mary Jean

She walked cool with her head always held high
The glow in her eyes made her look like a queen
A little queen, Mary Jean

She took a hold of my heart and held me under a spell
I guess she knew me real well
Just why we hung together through all those tears
I couldn't tell you now in a million years

I didn't think that the cause of my downfall
Would be pretty and small like little Mary Jean
Mary Jean, Mary Jean

And I couldn't know when I held her that first night
Feeling ever so right that one day it would end
In a scene, Mary Jean

Now she's gone, yes, she's gone and I think I'll be alright
But then the phone rings at night
She's on the line again and it's just no fun
We've got a bad connection, Mary I've gotta run

Hey now, hey now
I just had to tell her to go away

Hey now, hey now
It's so unexciting around here today

Now she's gone, yes, she's gone and I think I'll be alright
But then the phone rings at night
She's on the line again and it's just no fun
We've got a bad connection, Mary I've gotta run

Oh Mary

I'm standing here looking down at my shoes
With a case of the blues over little Mary Jean
Mary Jean, Mary Jean
A little queen, Mary Jean, Mary Jean

Oh yeah, Mary Jean, Mary Jean

But she was so pretty and small
Oh, she was the cause of my downfall
We used to fuss and fight
And I dream about her every single night

Oh Mary Jean
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Mary Jean, Mary Jean
