Yeah Jenny was a kind you call up late for a date on Friday night Didn't ever matter how much I had to drink she'd come and give me a ride Yeah Becky was a hell-raising dart throwing girl that could *match* me *beer* for *beer Holly was a singer with stars in her eyes and Mary was the marrying kind Gretchen was a grad student working on her masters a little too smart for me Tammy was a teacher her daddy was a preacher evil as a girl could be Yeah Megan was a millionaire senator's daughter my collar was too damn blue Miss Virginia sure was fine but Mary was the marrying kind Oh Mary Mary Couldn't see it at the time Oh Marry Marry How could I've been so blind? Mary was a blond blue eyed girl next door with an angel face I figure I could find her wild side so I took her on a couple of dates She was sweet and smart had a queen size heart nothing like the other girls She just laughed at my best line cause Mary was the marrying kind Oh Mary Mary Couldn't see it at the time Oh Mary Mary How could I've been so blind? She was something different Didn't know what I was missing My best friend proved what I already knew Mary was the marrying kind Oh Mary Mary Couldn't see it at the time Oh Mary Mary How could I've been so blind? Oh I didn't see it I didn't see it How could I've been so blind?
