The Shakin’ Babies - Mary Wants to Rock lyrics

rate me

Friday night and all the kids were out at the show

Mary was invited but her mom said she couldn’t go

I don’t want you running around with those …or those bums

Staying out till morning doing only God knows what

Mary was a good girl, she went to church and got a degree

Then she met a boy, that’s when her all changed

Mary first saw Johnny, he was outside, skipping school

Playing tunes and pushing pot, he was looking oh so cool

I never felt so free, he cares about nothing, it seems

Forget my mother’s screams, I could be the girl of his dreams

She knew from that moment, she lived to be his girl

She knew from that moment, she had to share his world

Then he got a girl, she didn’t wanna be another girl

She was rock and roll and never do what she’s been told

She’s been told

Friday night and all the kids were out at the show

Mary was invited but her mom said she couldn’t go

I don’t want you running around with those …or those bums

Staying out till morning doing only God knows what

Mary was a good girl, she went to church and got a degree

Then she met a boy, that’s when her all changed
