Mary Anne Lyrics

It isn't such a crime
It isn't such a shame
It happens all the time
You shouldn't take the blame
Go on and have a laugh
Go have a laugh on me
Go on and have a laugh
At all your misery

Mary Anne, Mary Anne (don't cry Mary Anne)
I really wanna tell you Mary Anne, Mary Anne
I'm thinking of you
Mary Anne, Mary Anne (don't cry Mary Anne)
I really wanna tell you Mary Anne, Mary Anne, Mary Anne

You take a look around
And all you seem to see
Is bringing you down
As down as you can be
Go on and have a laugh
Go have a laugh on me
Go on and have a laugh
At how bad it can be

Mary Anne, Mary Anne (you'll be all right)
I really wanna tell you Mary Anne, Mary Anne
I'm thinking of you
Mary Anne, Mary Anne (you'll be all right)
I really wanna tell you Mary Anne, Mary Anne, Mary Anne

Mary Anne, Mary Anne (goodnight Mary Anne)
I really wanna tell you Mary Anne, Mary Anne
I'm thinking of you Mary Anne, Mary Anne (goodnight Mary Anne)
I really wanna tell you Mary Anne, Mary Anne, Mary Anne

It isn't such a crime 
It isn't such a shame 
It happens all the time 
You shouldn't take the blame 
Go on and have a laugh 
Go have a laugh on me 
Go on and have a laugh 
At all your misery

Mary Anne, Mary Anne (don't cry Mary Anne) 
I really wanna tell you Mary Anne, Mary Anne 
I'm thinking of you 
Mary Anne, Mary Anne (don't cry Mary Anne) 
I really wanna tell you Mary Anne, Mary Anne, Mary Anne

You take a look around 
And all you seem to see 
Is bringing you down 
As down as you can be 
Go on and have a laugh 
Go have a laugh on me 
Go on and have a laugh 
At how bad it can be

Mary Anne, Mary Anne (you'll be all right) 
I really wanna tell you Mary Anne, Mary Anne 
I'm thinking of you 
Mary Anne, Mary Anne (you'll be all right) 
I really wanna tell you Mary Anne, Mary Anne, Mary Anne

Mary Anne, Mary Anne (goodnight Mary Anne) 
I really wanna tell you Mary Anne, Mary Anne 
I'm thinking of you Mary Anne, Mary Anne (goodnight Mary Anne) 
I really wanna tell you Mary Anne, Mary Anne, Mary Anne

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
