Lyrics
0:06Mary Ann
0:07You're better than the world
0:11They took a lot of time
0:13Getting it right on this girl
0:16I said Mary Ann
0:18You're better than the world
0:23They did a lot of things right on this girl
0:29Had a lot of girlfriends
0:31I should have known them
0:34Click your heels and count back from there
0:40Do you want to go back
0:42You should have known
0:44That the butterfly in reverse here is me
0:50Mary Ann
0:52You're better than the world
0:56They took a lot of time
0:58Getting it right on this girl
1:01I said Mary Ann
1:03You're better than the world
1:07They did a lot of things right on this girl
1:19Where'd you want to go to
1:21With nothing beside you
1:24But webbing and curfews and rain
1:30And everything that hurts you
1:33Is locked up inside you
1:35Like butterflies with wings
1:38And other perfect things
1:42We go swimming in the sunshine
1:47Dangling from clotheslines
1:50Separate and fall into me
1:56But did you ever see me
1:58Me absolutely
2:01Me but all you but still me
2:07Mary Ann
2:08You're better than the world
2:12They took a lot of time
2:14Getting it right on this girl I said
2:18Mary Ann
2:19You're better than the world
2:24They did a lot of things right on this
2:27They did a lot of things right on this
2:29They did a lot of things right on this girl
Mary Ann You're better than the world They took a lot of time Getting it right on this girl I said Mary Ann You're better than the world They did a lot of things right on this girl Had a lot of girlfriends I should have known them Click your heels and count back from there Do you want to go back You should have known That the butterfly in reverse here is me Mary Ann You're better than the world They took a lot of time Getting it right on this girl I said Mary Ann You're better than the world They did a lot of things right on this girl Where'd you want to go to With nothing beside you But webbing and curfews and rain And everything that hurts you Is locked up inside you Like butterflies with wings And other perfect things We go swimming in the sunshine Dangling from clotheslines Separate and fall into me But did you ever see me Me absolutely Me but all you but still me Mary Ann You're better than the world They took a lot of time Getting it right on this girl I said Mary Ann You're better than the world They did a lot of things right on this They did a lot of things right on this They did a lot of things right on this girl
