Mary lee, Mary Lee, take a good friend's advice
Reconsider the proposal that you turned down twice
He's a good man, and he loves you, like no one will do
Reconsider the good offer that he's making to you
Mary lee, Mary Lee, can't you see his love is true?
The coldness of your heart keeps making him blue
Ain't nothing in the world, that he'd rather do
Than hold up the sky, only to comfort you
Mary lee, Mary Lee, don't keep him in doubt
You keep swayin' and turnin', fadin' in, fadin' out
You're looking for love with your head in the stars
What you're needin' so badly is right in his arms
