The Mighty Handful - Whatever Happened to My Mary Jane? Lyrics




Behind every great man there's a whole string of women
All through our lives going back to Eden
Every one like every one before
Could have been the greatest love of all

Wherefore art thou my Juliet?
If we already met
How could I ever forget?

I've known a Cleopatra or two in my time
But they never ever turn out to be mine
Was it a brief encounter where I found her
But I lost her cos the cost of love was just too much
Whatever happened to my Mary Jane?

Behind every great man there s a whole string of women
All through our lives going back to Eden
Every one like every one before
Could have been the greatest love of all

Goodbye heart, hello Norma Jean
Perfect celluloid queen
Flawed except on the big screen

Is she a Scarlett or an Heloise?
A not tonight or ever Josephine?
Who'll have me down upon my knees trying to please
But then she'll turn into a tease I didn't need
Whatever happened to my Mary Jane?

Behind every great man there s a whole string of women
All through our lives going back to Eden
Every one like every one before
Could have been the greatest love of all

Where to find my Helen of Troy?
Beauty that can destroy
The dreams of many a boy
There have been girls whose luscious lips
Could sink way more than a thousand ships
But do I stick or do I twist when every girl
I might have missed instead of kissed could have been it

Whatever happened to my Mary Jane?
Whatever happened to my Mary Jane?
Whatever happened to my Mary Jane?
