Sweet Mary Lyrics - The Byrds - The Byrds

Sweet Mary I've got to be leavin' 

Oh, I can't let you into my life 

'Cause I know it would end off in grieving 

And the last thing I need is a wife 

When I met you I met you for pleasure 

And the good times of runnin' around 

Then you seemed to be so understanding 

From the weight that's been draggin' me down 

Then the good times are coming between us 

Though you've helped me I'm burning my load 

And I've never felt more like a lover 

But I'm running right off of the road 

Sweet Mary I've got to be leavin' 

Oh, I can't let you into my life 

'Cause I know it would end off in grieving 

And the last thing I need is a wife 

Oh, it's nothing you said or invited 

And it's nothing you did that was wrong 

And our love together was Heaven 

And I've promised myself to be strong 

Sweet Mary I've got to be leavin' 

Oh, I can't let you into my life 

'Cause I know it would end off in grieving 

And the last thing I need is a wife
