[Chorus] 'Cause you must know you are my true love, Mary Yes you are, Mary Magdalene's on my mind [Verse] While the world laughed, you stood by me Others ran, you chose not to flee You got hell on earth for loving me Nothing scared you away, by my side you stayed To my father above you prayed and prayed To switch places with me when I was slayed 'Cause girl, I could feel it and my wounds you would heal 'em But it's out your hands, these sins of man Some tried to judge you by picking up stones Shattered furniture and gla**-made homes
Jealous people throw 'em the ricochet Bobbing and weaving as they come their way As my world burns, the flames you bear You were still there when all the smoke cleared And girl, I could see it in your eyes, I did As your tears fall, I would catch them all No hatred in your heart, forgive them please I feel no pain, my soul's at ease No questions, God made his choice But always in your mind will be my voice [Chorus] 'Cause you must know you are my true love, Mary Yes you are, Mary Magdalene's on my mind
