She's got tiger eyes and they're floating across the room
But they stop on you and they don't move away
She's got lips like razor blades that shine like moons
Born in Tennessee, she's got it out for me
Mary Ann
Won't you step away from me for a while?
I'm feeling hunted down
He is mine and this time you won't find your way in
Mary Ann
Won't you step away from me for a while?
Mary Ann
Won't you step away from me for a while?
Now I've seen that look of yours two years ago
It's all a game to you but now I can play it too
Hard as hell to find a good man and I, I gave him all of me
You won't take him that easy
Mary Ann
Won't you step away from me for a while?
I'm feeling hunted down
He is mine and this time you won't find your way in
Mary Ann
Won't you step away from me for a while?
Mary Ann
Won't you step away from me for a while?
You walk to him, pull up your skirt to sit down
Whisper in his ear, it comes so naturally
The music's loud, but I still hear his voice
The words I won't forget, so loud and clear
His words so loud and clear, he said
"Mary Ann
Won't you leave me alone for a while?
Can't you see that lady sitting there?
Well she is the only one that makes me crazy
Mary Ann
Won't you leave me alone for a while? I see your beauty
Mary Ann
There's only one girl here that I want truly
Mary Ann
Leave me alone for a while, alone for a while?
Mary Ann
Won't you leave me alone for a while, alone for a while?
