Mary, you are everything a man could want
And I want you, Mary
Did you know when you pushed me once away from you
The thing I knew grew inside me
People are dancing for you now
But I can’t see why
Can’t they see that they can’t beat
Nothing I have for you
Mary, you are everything a man could need
How I need you, Mary
Yeah
How I need you
When I look at the hole in your coat
I have to love you more
I remember when I was a child
And my brother slept on the floor
Oh, I know that the sun don’t shine
Down on every man
But when women let the my brother down
I swore one day I’d land
Me one Mary
Swore I’d land me one Mary
Oh, Mary
When I look at the hole in your coat
I have to love your more
I remember when I was a child
My brother slept on the floor
Oh, I know that the sun don’t shine
Down on every man
But when the woman let my brother down
I swore one day, I’d land me mary
I swore I’d land me mary
The Who's version of this, I'm thinking, would sound pretty close to the demo version, like their version of Time Is Passing did. The Who did actually record it, but the version is lost to history at the moment.
