Sweet Mary Lyrics

Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving Oh, I can't let you into my life 'Cause I know it would end up 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 running around Then you seemed to be so understanding From the weight that's been draggin' me down
Now the good times are coming between us Though you helped me I'm burning my load And I've never felt more like a lover But I'm running right off the road
Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving Oh, I can't let you into my life 'Cause I know it would end up 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 Girl, I promised myself to be strong
Sweet Mary I've got to be leaving Oh, I can't let you into my life 'Cause I know it would end up in grieving And the last thing I need is a wife
