Mary,
I guess it's time for me to speak the truth,
and tell you how I feel... Listen.
You used to turn away whenever I had caught your
stare
I know sometimes I made feel as if you wasn't there
You would make such an effort, just to get my
attention
How can you blame me baby cos I didn't know
Girl you never told me
(you should have said something)
Tell me why... oh why
(it's too late now)
Mary, I know that you want me
So I'm saying I'm sorry
That I never gave you time
Mary, to save your heartache
Think it's time we should say,
I can never be the man that you need
Sometimes I wish on stars that, we could have lived on Mars and
There would be no temptation, that's just imagination
Maybe because of Lisa, or was down to Keisha
If you'd have fought your corner, we'd be happy ever after
So save your questions
Cos there ain't no answers
I can't help you're on your own
Mary, I know that you want me
So I'm saying I'm sorry
That I never gave you time
Mary, to save your heartache
Think it's time we should say,
I can never be the man that you need
Mary, I wish you'd have said something
How was I supposed to know
And I'm sorry for how I treated you
And kept you hanging on
Guess I've got to be cruel to be kind
Mary, I know that you want me
So I'm saying I'm sorry
That I never gave you time
Mary, to save your heartache
Think it's time we should say,
I can never be the man that you need
