flesh and bone
blood and brain
things about me
i just can't explain
and if you're looking for a core
you'll find nothing less
and nothing more
but in my heart there is a pearl
cut it open
and find a picture of this girl

her name is mary (mary)
of the stars and the sunshine
and I thank the world
she's finally mine

i bring her flowers and candy
all that she needs
her mind's an open book
and i'm happy to read
shows her emotions, she wears her heart on her sleeve
and with all that she knows, what i don't know is
what...she sees...in me

her name is mary (mary)
of the stars and the sunshine
and I thank the world
she's finally mine

(repeat chorus after solo)
oh yeah she's mary
and she's my everything
with all that's been going on
she's got the world on a string
