Mary jo, sitting alone<br>Drinking tea, she just got home<br>She wants, I don't know what you want<br><br>Mary jo, living alone<br>Drinking gin with the telly on<br>She wants<br><br>The night to follow day and back again<br>She doesn't want to sleep<br>Well who could blame her if she wants? <br>The night to follow day and back again<br>She doesn't want to sleep<br>Well who could blame her, if she sleeps? <br>Well who could blame her, if she sleeps? <br>Well who could blame her, if she's sleeping? <br><br>Mary jo, back with yourself<br>For company, keep telling yourself you're young<br>It'll happen soon<br><br>Mary jo, no one can see<br>What you've been through<br>Now you've got love to burn<br><br>It's someone else's turn to go through hell<br>Now you can see them come from twenty yards<br>Yeah you can tell<br>It's someone else's turn to take a fall<br>And now you are the one who's strong enough to help them<br>The one who's strong enough to help them<br>The one who's strong enough to help them all<br><br>Mary jo, you're looking thin<br>You're reading a book, the state I am in<br>But oh, it doesn't help at all<br>What you want is a cigarette<br>And a thespian with a caravanette in hull<br><br>Because life is never dull in your dreams<br>A pity that it never seems to work the way you see it<br>Life is never dull in your dreams<br>A sorry tale of action and the men you left for<br>Women, and the men you left for<br>Intrigue, and the men you left for dead
