Black Lace

Mary Ann

Out on a late night Way after midnight Armed with a bottle or two What's the time? I'm gettin' out of my mind I've gotta get to you

She was in black lace Come back to my place Come for a drink and a dance Boy, I found she didn't hang around I didn't stand a chance

She paid a big rent For an apartment uptown One-twenty-one She said: come inside I've got nothin' to hide I only want some fun

Havin' a good time Walkin' a tight line I was out of my head Just when I reached for you Like I usually do I found her instead

Mary Ann, I'm gonna do what I can But I can't do more than try Tearin' my heart out tryin' to make it up to you Mary Ann, I'm gonna do what I can That's truth, and that's no lie Cryin' my eyes out, gotta get it back with you

I woke up early With everythin' blurry And my head rattled with pain Even so, I heard the doorbell go And someone call my name

There was her best friend Down for the weekend I knew I'd met her before She said: you dirty man When I see Mary Ann I'm gonna tell her the score

Mary Ann, I'm gonna do what I can But I can't do more than try Tearin' my heart out tryin' to make it up to you Mary Ann, I'm gonna do what I can That's truth, and that's no lie Cryin' my eyes out, gotta get it back with you

Out on a late night Way after midnight Armed with a bottle or two What's the time? I'm gettin' out of my mind I've got to get to you

Mary Ann, I'm gonna do what I can But I can't do more than try Tearin' my heart out tryin' to make it up to you Mary Ann, I'm gonna do what I can That's truth, and that's no lie Cryin' my eyes out, gotta get it back with you

Cryin' my eyeѕ out, gotta get it bаck with you
