she's my inspiration
|
my part time occupation
|
the catalyst and my consumation
|
in my quest for education
|
no one could ever take her place and
|
no assimilation, so save you false accusations
|
i accept no imitations
|
|
so that's the situation without further hesitation
|
let me continue my demonstration
|
for the congregation
|
to break it down for all y'all simple and plain
|
i got a love for a girl named mary jane
|
|
[chorus:]
|
|
whatcha know about mary jane?
|
how ya'll feel about mary jane
|
ya'll don't know about mary jane
|
'cause she's my main thing
|
|
whatcha know about mary jane?
|
how ya'll feel about mary jane
|
ya'll don't know about mary jane
|
she makes my heart sing
|
|
as i walk around the edges of my mind
|
in an attempt to contemplate
|
what it really is that makes me tick
|
I'm reminded of emotions that saturate
|
my thoughts like sunshine
|
it always ain't the first time
|
|
that i'm feelin' this, feelin that
|
i'm feelin' that
|
they don't know about my baby
|
and the healing power
|
it makes a strong man stronger
|
and a crazy man sing
|
i'm talkin about mary jane
|
|
mary's potent, see, yes it opens me
|
and makes me see things in a way
|
i'd never thought i'd see
|
mary ease pain
|
and mary never complains
|
mary jane penetrates the brain
|
y'know what i'm sayin'
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
i'm not the first
|
and i probably won't be the last
|
i ain't mad at mary 'cause
|
mary always makes me laugh
|
mary brings light to the darkness
|
let me spark one up quickly
|
before they come and get me
|
|
don't listen to what they say 'cause
|
mary never contrary
|
mary mary very
|
nececessary extraordinary
|
me and mary to the mortuary
|
just one kiss on her sweet lips
|
and i become a visionary
|
|
mary never the same
|
mary don't change
|
mary make a man walk a mile in the rain
|
mary mary never temporary
|
she's my sanctuary
|
and when the love comes down
|
i'm the beneficiary
|
|
some say if it's this good
|
then it must be wrong
|
but mary makes me feel so good
|
'cause mary lasts so long
|
mary mary got no secondary
|
sweeter than a cherry
|
blackberry, or a strawberry
|
|
without mary, life ain't complete
|
'cause mary don't lie, mary don't steal
|
and mary don't cheat
|
let me break it down for all y'all
|
simple and plain
|
i've got a love for a girl named mary jane
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
i'm in love with with mary jane
|
i'm not the only one
|
mary likes to play around
|
i let her have her fun
|
|
she's not the kind of girl
|
that you can just tie down
|
mary likes to spread her love
|
and turn my head around
|
|
i'm in love with mary jane
|
she's my main thing
|
she makes me feel alright
|
makes my heart sing
|
|
and when i'm feelin' low
|
it comes as no surprise
|
turns me on with her love
|
takes me to paradise
|
|
do you love me, mary jane?
|
|
[chorus]
