Mary Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

Now, Mary wasn't happy with the life that she led 

She was a simple girl without much to say 

So one day she upped and left her dreary home 

And she left all her friends to wander all alone 

And at first she was afraid, she was so far away 

From her home but slowly she got to like it anyway 

Oh, Mary, won't you please come 

Mary, won't you please come 

Mary, won't you please come home 

Well, in time she found 

The mountain that she had been taught 

Her whole life that she must avoid 

And though at first it hurt and no one could comfort her 

She finally came to appreciate it 

And she liked it, she liked it, oh, wasn't she surprised 

And though still alone, she grew so much inside 

Oh, Mary, won't you please come 

Mary, won't you please come 

Mary, won't you please come home 

And after a time she became so sublime 

She could look in peoples eyes and read their minds 

Though her hands would sometimes bleed 

And occasionally she would long for her past 

And the memories they bring 

She decided to return to her old home town 

And her heart was burning with all the things she found 

Oh, Mary, won't you please come 

Mary, won't you please come 

Mary, won't you please come 

Please come home 

So, Mary came back and at first no one recognized her face 

And her friends were all a little bit afraid 

When they heard what she had to say 

They all slowly backed away 

And her family took her aside and put their arms around her 

They said, "Mary, won't you please come back to us now 

There is still time to repent for all your sins" 

And Mary started to cry when she realized 

That she'd never come home again in her life 

Oh, Mary, won't you please come 

Mary, won't you please come 

Mary, won't you please come 

Please come home 

Come home 

Come home 

Come home
