Mary Got A Baby Lyrics

Mary got a baby and she's only fifteen

 You can't see buddy for dust

 Strangled in a small town, stuck out like a sore thumb

 Nowhere to run, nowhere to run

 Shame for the family

 Mary got a secret and the whole little dirty town knows

 Mary thought it was love, buddy thought it was lust

 But it was Mary's balloon that got busted

 

 Mary's old man just stares at the TV

 Doesn't look at Mary at all

 Mary just shivers like a lamb in the rain

 He begins to pace, he slaps her face

 Mary's mom's shattered

 Little baby sister just screamin' on the kitchen floor

 So Mary runs away in the middle of the night

 Cause she can't stay home and be crucified

 

 She says hey everybody here's a four letter word

 And a three letter word for you

 

 Mary has her baby in a faraway town

 Nobody makes any fuss

 No flowers, no tears, not a friendly face appears

 Nobody cares, nobody cares

 Mary gives the baby up

 Stares out the window at nothin' for a couple of days

 Doesn't see the baby, doesn't have the heart

 And she doesn't go home to make a brand new start

 

 She says hey everybody here's a four letter word

 And a three letter word for you
