Rose Polenzani - Mary Lee lyrics

She was running, running so hard, you couldn't tell her apart from the gra**. She seemed so small, but really she was larger than anybody you've seen. In Momma she found the right surrounds. In preschool they singled her out for her hat. In elementary she met her friend Mary and from her she learned many things... Like you're never as big as you seem. But I've got everything backwards, I do what I do. I am what I'm not. If I wasn't growing my hair out again, I would have forgot All these things. He said she was gross, She said "what does that mean?" And she answered herself in time. It was a long walk to the back of the bus Just to spit in the young boy's eye. Aw, didn't they warn you about her? The kids all get naked when she comes to play. I wouldn't even leave her alone with herself, she could get hurt that way. But I've got everything backwards, I do what I do. I am what I'm not. If I wasn't growing my hair out again, I would have forgot All these things. Hey, Mary Lee, I was on your street, and the Ice Cream Shoppe was as stylin' as you. I'll never be hip enough to eat the things that you do. You were the first in a long, long line of girls I pretended to be. You started me off and I owe you for that, but you've already collected your fee. I've got everything backwards. I've got everything backwards. I've got everything backwards. I've got everything backwards.
