Dont Waste Your Time

Mary j blige & aretha franklin
[mary]
Lately Ive got this funny feeling
Something dont feel the same
But hes telling me Im the one to blame
Yes I know he still gives me good loving
But when hes deep inside
Theres somebody else on his mind
1 - [aretha]dont waste your time
[mary] but it gets so hard to know
[aretha]just walk away
[mary] you say that I got to let go
[both] seen it a millions times before
[aretha]you shouldnt take his stuff no more
[mary] cant waste my time
[aretha]girl its not hard to know
[mary] should walk away
[aretha]oh youve got to let it go
[both] seen it a millions times before
[mary] shouldnt take his sh** no more
[aretha]
Sister girl, sister girl
Its much deeper than what youre thinking
When something dont feel the same
Yeah you better believe his love has change
(and I have been telling you, telling you)
And what youre telling me
(its been hurting me, hurting me)
It aint, it aint complete
Hes got a sweetie on the side
Stop making truth, out of his lies
Repeat 1
[aretha & mary]
Whats the point of love
When you got no trust
Whats the point of staying
When you seen enough
Whats the point of giving
What he dont deserve
[mary]
He dont deserve it
No you dont deserve it
[aretha]
Oh whats the point of feeling
[aretha & mary]
Like theres nothing inside
Whats the point of saying
That you still got your pride
Whats the point of giving
What he dont deserve
This is the last time
Im gonna love you
Repeat 1

Don't Waste Your Time

Mary, Mary

Words and music by michael nesmith
Mary, mary, where you goin to?
Mary, mary, can I go too.
This one thing I will vow ya,
Id rather die than to live without ya.
Mary, mary, where you goin to?
Mary, mary, tell me truly
What did I do to make you leave me.
Whatever it was I didnt mean to,
You know I never would try and hurt ya.
Mary, mary, where you goin to?
What more, mary, can I do
To prove my love is truly yours?
Ive done more now than a clear-thinkin man would do.
Mary, mary, its not over.
Where you go, I will follow.
til I win your love again
And walk beside you,
But until then.
Mary, mary, where you goin to?
Mary, mary, where you goin to?
Mary, where you goin to?
Mary, mary, mary, mary, mary, where you goin to?
[repeat adlib]

Mary Mary Magdalene

Mary Mary Magdalene,
what do all those stories mean?
Mary, Mary, is it true,
Jesus had a thing for you?

Mary, Mary – He lay with you?
Mary, Mary, tell me true
Mary, Mary, red hair wild,
did He leave you great with child?

Mary, was your love so steady,
that you had had His kids already?
Mary, Mary, at the Cross,
did it feel a gain or loss?

Mary, Mary – on that third day,
what was it like with the stone rolled away?
Mary, Mary, running there with love,
what did you think when He rose above?

Mary, Mary – what was it like, after?
Were there tears or joyful laughter?
Mary, Mary – the kids you had –
did they turn out like their Dad?

Mary, Mary, whore redeemed,
did it work out like you dreamed?
Mary, Mary – your afterlife –
was it mostly love, or mostly strife?

Mary, Mary, were you worshipped or despised
As Mary’s daughter-in-law, Mrs. Christ?
Mary, Mary, did you stay,
or feel you had to take the kids away?

Mary, Mary, with so much love,
did you, too, rise to heaven above?
Mary, Mary, in the sky,
all we ask are the reasons why…

Mary, Mary Magdalene,
What is really true? What does it really mean?

Mary Lou

Your scrapbooks filled with pictures
Of all your leading men
Well baby dont me picture in there with them
Dont make me some little girls dream
That can never come true
Oh baby, dont do it to me
I wont do it to you
Mary lou, Im not like all those other guys
Mary lou, I wont fill pretty head with their pretty lies
Mary lou, and dreams that never, never, never ever will
Come true
Mary lou, I dont deserve to hurt and make you cry like
You do
You seen all the romantic movies
You dream to take the boys home
But when the action fades youre left all alone
You deserve more than this, oh your love that can grow
And not playing outtakes, girl, from some late-late show,
No no
Mary lou, youre not like all those others girls
Mary lou, so afraid to shake up that real world
Every night you go out lookin for
True loves satisfaction
But youll end up setting for just lights, camera, action
In another cameo role with some bit-player you befriended
Youre gonna go broken-hearted
Lookin for that happy ending
Mary lou, I know all those movies too
Mary lou, now one wants the dreams, baby, more than I do
But mary lou, youre gonna end up
Baby just another ticket stub
Mary lou, cryin alone in the theatre
As the credits roll

Little Mary

Little Mary takes a walk
With her perfect hair and perfect heart
And happy as can be
Little Mary
Mary its just visual I dont think its real
Inside I think shes me
Well I could be wrong could be right
Dont think it matters
Cause little Mary sings her song and wipes away her tears
Little Mary dont you worry
You're perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down
Drop a line my way
You say it Mary, say it Mary
Dont be afraid to reveal
Its this preconceived notion that everybody's got
That little girls are perfect and angry they are not
And little Mary dont you worry
You're perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down
Oh little Mary
Dont you jump now
Little Mary show them who you are
Show them what you are
And little Mary takes a fall
All the way to heaven
Her feelings always trapped inside her perfect little heart
Her image is secure
She had to do what she had to do
To keep a perfect little Mary
Its always a perfect little Mary that falls
She falls
And its always a perfect little Mary that falls
Mary falls
Little Mary dont you worry
You're perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down

Mary

Mary, Ill love her all my life
But shell never be my wife
She broke my heart - broke my trust
Now I cant believe that shes seriuos
I love her, but I will never marry mary
Never marry mary...
Restless and wild - she runs away
Comes back and tells me shes here to stay
Tried to give her time but she wanted more
Now I just dont feel like I did before
I love her, but I will never marry mary
Never mary mary...
Mary, I tried to understand
But I cant stay here at your command
Got to break away - its been too long
Still I cant say all the feelings gone
I love her, but I will never marry mary
Never mary mary...

Take A Message To Mary

These are the words of a frontier man
Who lost his love when he turned bad.
Take a message to mary
But dont tell here where I am
Take a message to mary
But dont say Im in a jam
You can tell her that I had to see the world
Tell her that my ship set sail
You can say shed better not wait for me
But dont tell her Im in jail, oh dont tell her Im in jail.
Take a message to mary
But dont tell her what Ive done
Please, dont mention the stage coach
And the shot from a carried gun
You better tell her that I had to change my plans
And cancel out the wedding-day
But please, dont mention the lonely cell
Where Im gonna pine away, until my dying-day.
Take a message to mary
But dont tell her all you know
My heart is aching for mary
Lord know I miss her so
Just tell her that I went to timbukto
Tell her Im searching for gold
You can say she better find someone new
To cherish and to hold, oh lord, this cell is so cold.

Mary Jane

Now when I go to work, I work all day,
Always turns out the same.
When I bring home my hard-earned pay
I spend my money all on mary jane.
Mary jane, mary jane, lord, my mary jane.
Oh if a man should look tame now, mean and mature,
They all turn out the same.
cause they cant do nothing to make a man feel good
Like my old mary jane.
Mary jane, mary jane, lord, my mary jane.
Now I walk in the street now lookin for a friend
One that can lend me some change.
And he never questions my reason why,
cause he too loves mary jane.
Mary jane, mary jane, lord, my mary jane.
Well, I have known women that wanted no man,
Some that wanted to stay.
But I never knew what happened in this world
Till I met up with mary jane,
Mary jane, mary jane, lord my mary jane.
Oh, when Im feelin lonesome and Im feelin blue,
Theres only one way to change.
Now I walk down the street now lookin for a man,
One that knows my mary jane,
Mary jane, mary jane, lord my mary jane.

If loving you is all that I have to do
I dont want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I dont want to do anything else

With my head hung far down
You tell me what is wrong
You just wanna be loved all night long baby

You told me a thousand times
That you would be mine, all mine

And all you wanna do is to love me for me
And Ill love you for you

Dont Lie

(frank rogers/chet biggers)
That old photograph of us sure looks out of place
Laying on your bag out in the hall.
Youre takin it to remind you of our better days...
The ones you say youll miss when youre gone.
Dont lie...dont try to fool me...
Cause girl I know whats goin on.
Dont lie...you owe it to me...
Believe me leave well enough alone.
So just go ahead and say goodbye...
But dont lie.
Well Ive seen all his letters in the closet
Ive caught a trace of his cologne on you at night.
So dont stand there and act so broken hearted...
Tell me how its killin you inside.
Dont lie...dont try to fool me...
Cause girl I know whats goin on.
Dont lie...you owe it to me...
Believe me leave well enough alone.
So just go ahead and say goodbye...
But dont lie.
Just come out and say it...
Dont worry I can take it...
Dont you think that I deserve the truth?
Dont lie...dont try to fool me...
Cause girl I know whats goin on.
Dont lie...you owe it to me...
Believe me leave well enough alone.
So just go ahead and say goodbye...
But dont lie.

Mary

Maybe one breath away
Ill find the words to say
Ill sit and light the bong
Ill hold my hit in real long
I dont know if I can go up inside of you tonite
Oh mary baby, please dont fuss and fight
Youve heard the line before
Mary, baby, please dont think Im a whore
If you come home with me
Turn off the lights lock up the door and start gettin busy
I dont know if I can go so far up inside you tonite
Mary, baby, I could do it right
When we got to her pad
Mary, baby, started callin me her dad
As she gave me head
We could not find the damn bed
Fifteen years old plus one
Hotter than a microwave oven
Mary, baby, daddy is comin home

Drivin Me To Drink

I need a drink cuz youre drivin me to drink
I need a drink cuz youre drivin me to drink
I need a drink cuz youre drivin me to drink
I need a drink cuz youre drivin me to drink
Its about to go down
When the remys in the system, it aint no tellin
What the other person sayin, theres too much yellin
Even though I know, that aint what I need
I cant take the naggin and the bitchin and the screamin
No matter what I do it just aint enough
You say I dont take you out and buy you stuff
But you got these thangs, provided by me
Somebody pass me the vsop
Chorus:
I need a drink cuz youre drivin me to drink
Two shots of attic and I aint even gotta think about
The way I dont do this
The way I dont do that
You might deserve a slap
But girl I cant go out like that
I need a drink cuz youre drivin me to drink
Two shots of attic and I aint even gotta think about
The way I dont do this
The way I dont do that
You might deserve a slap
But girl I cant go out like that
Come home from a long day
Instead of havin dinner ready
All you got is somethin to say
Goin on like I need that
Im doin all I can and you can keep that
Said I never met no girl like you
Ungrateful thats the truth
Always got a problem
Wont you tell me what Im supposed to do
Girl you got some issues
Straighten all that out baby
Or I wont kick it with you
Chorus:
I need a drink cuz youre drivin me to drink
Two shots of attic and I aint even gotta think about
The way I dont do this
The way I dont do that
You might deserve a slap
But girl I cant go out like that
I need a drink cuz youre drivin me to drink
Two shots of attic and I aint even gotta think about
The way I dont do this
The way I dont do that
You might deserve a slap
But girl I cant go out like that
Bridge:
Say you got me on that hen dog
Cuz Im tired of askin you whats wrong
And Im feeling kinda crazy
All I want is somethin - from my lady
Say you got me on that hen dog
Cuz Im tired of askin you whats wrong
And Im feeling kinda crazy
All I want is somethin - from my lady

I Cant Stop Hurting You

She looked at me with eyes that cut right through me and said
You must be blind
Let me tell you a little something about yourself
Youre the hurtin kind
I must admit after the pain and fight
Ive a sneaking suspicion that you might be right
I love you, I love you, I love you
But I cant stop hurting you
I want to, I want to
I cant stop hurting you
I cant, I cant
I cant stop hurting you, its getting bad
I dont know what to do
I see you packing up all your precious little things
That mean so much to you
I hurt you now youre moving out again
But we know just what youll do
Well see the error of our ways in crime
With conciliatory promises well change this time
I love you, I love you, I love you
But I cant stop hurting you
I want to, I want to
I cant stop hurting you
I cant, I cant
I cant stop hurting you, its getting bad
I dont know what to do
I love you, I love you
I cant stop hurting you
I need to, I need to
I cant stop hurting you
I cant, I cant
I cant stop hurting you
Its getting bad, I dont know what to do
And when you go I miss you all night
The wounds heal from the scratch and bite
I dont know whats wrong
I dont know whats right
But I cant stop hurting you
I cant stop hurting you
We talk so coolly about the pros and cons
When I get hot headed I just cant hold on
I love you, I love you, I love you
I cant stop hurting you
I need to, I need to
I cant stop hurting you
I cant, I cant
I cant stop hurting you
Its getting bad, I dont know what to do

After The Love Goes

Its been a year since I last saw mary
When she said goodbye
She casts a spell on my intention
Thats the reason why
Im taking my thought from a bottle lately
And breaking them up in my mind
All my problems they dont look pretty
Oh but its no surprise
Well its so hard
To take what youre given
Well its so hard
To give what youve got
After the love goes
Here I go
Theres no easy way
Bright lights of memphis
Sounds like a real good time
But I lost my heart and my money
Honed like cherry wine
But I dont remember the church bells ring
Thru the day or the night
But I kept my soul on my own
Not without a fight
Well its so hard
To take what youre given
Well its so hard
To give what youve got
After the love goes
Here I go
Theres no easy way
Its been a while since I last saw mary
Wipe a tearful eye
Well I remember I first saw mary
Saying her last goodbye
Breaking it up from a bottle lately
And making it up in my mind
But all my problems, they dont look pretty
Ooh thats the bottom line
Its so hard
To take what youre given
Well its so hard
To give what youve got
After the love goes
Here I go
Theres no easy road

I Aint Runnin Yet

(jamie o hara/gary nicholson)
Ive come to see its a pattern with me
To make a fast getaway
Everytime I get a little too near to love
Somebody gets too close
The next thing I know
Im up and gone again
Chasin the wind and the distant stars above
Ah girl
But I dont know whats been goin on
Since the night we met
All I know is
I aint runnin yet
Girl I can see when you look at me
Youre lookin for a sign
That somewhere in this heart of mine theres a place for you
But I want you to know
When those feelings show
Thats what chases me away
But tonight I just gotta stay and see this through
Ah girl
But I dont know whats been goin on
Since the night we met
All I know is
I aint runnin yet
I aint runnin away from the love I see so deep in your eyes
I aint runnin away and I cant even say just why
Oh I dont know whats been going on since the night we met
All I know is I aint runnin yet
I aint runnin away from the love I see so deep in your eyes
I aint runnin away and I cant even say just why
Oh I dont know whats been going on since the night we met
All I know is I aint runnin yet
Girl I dont know whats been goin on
Since the night we met
All I know is
I aint runnin yet

Mother Mary

Like no other
from the time
I saw first light,
mother Mary sacrificed
her life for me.

In times of desolation
when all others doubt me,
mother Mary still believes
in my integrity.

In times of darkness
when no other is near,
mother Mary talks to me
and tries to set my eyes
back on the light
and her voice
is the only one that I hear.

Every morning before the day begins
mother Mary’s prayers
goes to the King of kings,
telling Him of all the things
that living brings to me.

When all hope is gone
and all things are done,
mother Mary takes my hand
and reminds me to trust
and that the new morning
is very near.

Beyond reason
when there’s no indication
that any answer
or victory is possible,
mother Mary still believes
and the Almighty One
touches me through her.

Age is making mother Mary frail
and time is rushing by
and I am afraid
that the end is coming near
and although life has taken
its toll from her
mother Mary is like no other
and will always be
my dearest mother.
