Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne Lyrics
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 worldly wise
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 alright
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 alright
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 alright
Jimmy loves Mary-Anne (Jimmy loves Mary-Anne)
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Mary-Anne
And she thinks it's alright, it's alright
It's all there in her eyes
So many years of her poor mama's tears
And her daddy's sweet lies
Mary-Anne's alone
Almost fully grown
And worldly wise
And he knows where it's at
Love to be good if he thought that he could
But it isn't like that
What he makes, he takes
Jimmy gets all the breaks
'Cause he knows how
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Mary-Anne
She thinks it's alright
And she hears Jimmy say
Mother I'm beat, I'm so sick of the street
Feel like running away
The city seems so small
There's sweeter music calling us away
Let it play
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Mary-Anne
She thinks it's alright
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
Mary-Anne knows it too
They can see each other through
If they hold on
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Mary-Anne
She thinks it's alright
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Mary-Anne
And she thinks it's alright, it's alright

No matter how many times I listen to it, it still sounds like he says 'her ass', as in ...
Just seventeen, everything that you've seen It's all there in her ass
sorry, but that's how I hear it. Listen, and you'll agree I'm sure
Melodic pop about gritty urban life and romantic hope. Two street-wise small city kids dream of getting out of their dead-end lives and being able to escape to something better because they have each other. What's not to love?
