I need you like the morning paper spread around the bed
I need you like my coffee, milk and bread
but it's so hard to reason with fingers in your ears
you're more to me than all the love I've had
Mary, don't leave me, don't go
Mary, you got the looks, you're a diamond in disguise
but baby it's so hard to track you down
I spot you at the station, in a train to Rotterdam
why do you run from town to town?
Mary, don't leave me, don't go
Cause if you run, I can't live
and I'll be lonely for ever more
I hope, I hope and pray
for a love that can't go wrong
Mary, don't leave me, don't go
Mary, I love jou, you know
I need you as a woman, and I need you as a friend
the closer I get, the more you hide
but babe you cannot stop me from being who I am
I'm after you and time is on my side
Mary, don't leave me, don't go
Mary, I love jou, you know
I need you like my coffee, milk and bread
but it's so hard to reason with fingers in your ears
you're more to me than all the love I've had
Mary, don't leave me, don't go
Mary, you got the looks, you're a diamond in disguise
but baby it's so hard to track you down
I spot you at the station, in a train to Rotterdam
why do you run from town to town?
Mary, don't leave me, don't go
Cause if you run, I can't live
and I'll be lonely for ever more
I hope, I hope and pray
for a love that can't go wrong
Mary, don't leave me, don't go
Mary, I love jou, you know
I need you as a woman, and I need you as a friend
the closer I get, the more you hide
but babe you cannot stop me from being who I am
I'm after you and time is on my side
Mary, don't leave me, don't go
Mary, I love jou, you know
