Mary Jean Lyrics - Marshall Crenshaw

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
