I heard the saying " if you want god to fill your hands with diamonds you have to drop the rock you are holding so tightly". This was inspired by that phrase.
mary, mary
how can i do it
how to get this man out of my head
mary, mary
don't even want to go through it
still remember the different things he said
maybe i'm as much to blame
maybe i trust too quick
maybe i was in a hurry
maybe we just got too thick

mary, sweet mary
please hold my hand
tell me sweet mary
there will be another man
i won't have to fight to love me
give me diamonds
instead of stone
tell me sweet mary
i won't always be alone

mary, tell me
what you think
mary, tell me how it's done
mary, ease this tortured mind
mary don't tell this to no one
as long as you've know me girl
have you ever seen me cry
so why then can you tell me
are there tears here in my eyes

mary, sweet mary
please hold my hand
tell me sweet mary
there will be another man
i won't have to fight to love me
give me diamonds
instead of stone
tell me sweet mary
i won't always be alone
