[Chorus]
Whenever I look out the window, I see her leave
Whenever I sleep on the pillow, I hear her breathe
Whenever I look back, I can't believe
What a stupid, drunk boy I was to let Mary leave

[Verse 2]
Trade blows with the foes, too young to grow
This skin just doesn't fit me
Too many souls have lost their hold
On reality wearing these
So I took a pinch of my Ma, pinch of my Pa
And measured my own body
And now I got a suit of class made to last
Off a man off New Bond Street

[Bridge]
La-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la

[Verse 3]
We're thick as thieves, hearts on sleeves
Searching for memories
Blowing off steam, just seventeen
Forgetting where we've been
So I took a tip from my Ma, tip from my Pa
And walked around my dreams
Found me in a car, driving far
Away from the places that I've seen
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Whenever I look out the window, I see her leave
Whenever I sleep on the pillow, I hear her breathe
Whenever I look back, I can't believe
What a stupid, drunk boy I was to let Mary leave
Mary Lee, Mary Lee
Mary Lee, Mary Lee
