Mary Ann

She's got tiger eyes and they're floating across the room.
But they stop on you and they don't move away.
She's got lips like razor blades that shine like moons.
Born in Tennessee, she's got it out for me.

Mary Ann, won't you step away from me for a while?
I'm feeling hunted down.
He is mine and this time you won't find your way in.
Mary Ann, won't you step away from me for a while?
Mary Ann, won't you step away from me for a while?

Now I've seen that look of yours two years ago.
It's all a game to you but now I can play it too.
Hard as hell to find a good man and I, I gave him all of me.
You won't take him that easy.

Mary Ann, won't you step away from me for a while?
I'm feeling hunted down.
He is mine and this time you won't find your way in.
Mary Ann, won't you step away from me for a while?
Mary Ann, won't you step away from me for a while?

You walk to him. Pull up your skirt to sit down.
Whisper in his ear. It comes so naturally.
The music's loud, but I still hear his voice.
The words I won't forget so loud and clear.

His words so loud and clear, he says:
Mary Ann, won't you leave me alone for a while?
Can't you see that lady sitting there?
Well she is the only one that makes me crazy.
Mary Ann, won't you leave me alone for a while?
I see your beauty. Mary Ann, there's only one girl here that I want truly.
Mary Ann, won't you leave me alone for a while, alone for a while?
Mary Ann, won't you leave me alone for a while, alone for a while?
