Just seventeen, everything that you've seen It's all there in her eyes So many years of her poor mama's tears And her daddy's sweet lies There's nobody home Mary-Anne's alone Almost fully grown And worrying the whys Jimmy's been down, he's been out and around And he knows where it's at Love to be good if he thought that he could But it isn't like that He don't make mistakes What he makes, he takes Jimmy gets all the breaks 'Cause he knows how Jimmy loves Mary-Anne Jimmy wants to be her man Jimmy loves Mary-Anne She thinks it's all right She's not alone and she picks up the phone And she hears Jimmy say Mother I'm beat, I'm so sick of the street Feel like running away There's no life here at all The city seems so small There's sweeter music calling us away Let it play Jimmy loves Mary-Anne Jimmy wants to be her man Jimmy loves Mary-Anne She thinks it's all right This big dollar town, it can drag you right down If you go it alone Even the strong don't survive very long When they're out on their own Jimmy knows it's true Mary-Anne knows it too They can see each other through If they hold on Jimmy loves Mary-Anne Jimmy wants to be her man Jimmy loves Mary-Anne She thinks it's all right Jimmy loves Mary-Anne Jimmy wants to be her man Jimmy loves Mary-Anne She thinks it's all right
