His friends say stop whining
They've had enough of that
His friends would say stop pining
There's others girls to look at
They've tried to set him up with Tiffany and Indigo
But there's something about Mary that they don't know

Mary, there's just something about Mary

Well, his friends say, look life's no fairy tale
That he should have some fun, he's suffered long enough
Well, they may now about domestic and imported ale
But they don't know a thing about love

Well, his friends would say he's dreaming
And living in the past
But they've never fallen in love
So his friends need not be asked
His friends would say be reasonable
His friends would say just let go
But there's something about Mary that they don't know

Mary, there's just something about Mary
