Mary Jean - Marshall Crenshaw

She came into my life like a bombshell

One look and I fell for little mary jean

She walked cool with her head always held high

The glow in her eyes made her look like a queen

A little queen, mary jean

She took a hold of my heart and held me under a spell

I guess she knew me real well

Just why we hung together through all those tears

I couldnt tell you now in a million years

I didnt think that the cause of my downfall

Would be pretty and small like little mary jean

And I couldnt know when I held her that first night

(feeling ever so right) that one day it would end

In a scene.

mary jean

Now shes gone yes shes gone and I think Ill be alright

But then the phone rings at night

Shes on the line again and its just no fun

Weve got a bad connection, mary Ive gotta run

Hey now I just had to tell her to go away

Its so unexciting around here today

Im standing here looking down at my shoes

With a case of the blues over little mary jean

She was so pretty and small

She was the cause of my downfall

We used to fuss and fight

And I dream about her every single night
