Mary Jane lyrics

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, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe

They all turn out the same.

'cause they can't do nothing to make a man feel good

Like my old Mary Jane.

Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord, my Mary Jane.

Now I walk down the street and I look 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 I wanted to play.

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 I'm feelin' lonesome and I'm feelin' blue,

There's only one way to change.

Now I walk down the street now lookin' for that man,

One that knows my Mary Jane,

Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Lord, my Mary Jane.
