Yeah Jennie was the kind you'd call up
late for a date on a friday night.
And it never mattered how much I had to drink
She'd come and give me a ride
And Becky was a hell raising dart throwing girl
That could match me beer for beer
Ally was a singer with stars in her eyes
and Mary was the marrying kind.
Gretchen was a grad student working on a masters
Little too smart for me
Tammy was a teacher, her daddy was a preacher
Evil as a girl could be
Yeah Megan was a millionaire senators daughter
My collar was to damn blue
Miss Virginia sure was fine
But Mary was the marrying kind.
Chorus:
Oh Mary, Mary. Couldn't see it at the time!
or
Oh Mary, Mary, How could I've been so blind!
Mary was a blonde haired blue eyed girl
Next door with an angel face
I figured I could find her wild side
If I took her on a couple of dates
She was sweet and smart and a queen size heart
Nothing like the other girls.
She'd just laught at my best line
Cause Mary was the marrying kind.
Chorus:
Oh Mary, Mary. Couldn't see it at the time!
or
Oh Mary, Mary, How could I've been so blind!
Bridge:
Oh, but she was something different!
I didn't know what I was missing
To my best friend proved what I already knew
(stop)
Mary was the marrying ki-i-i-nd!
Chorus:
Oh Mary, Mary. Couldn't see it at the time!
or
Oh Mary, Mary, How could I've been so blind!
Chorus 2x - fade out
