Bruce Springsteen - Mary Lou Lyrics
Your scrapbooks filled with picturesOf all your leading menWell baby dont me picture in there with themDont make me some little girls dreamThat can never come trueOh baby, dont do it to meI wont do it to youMary lou, Im not like all those other guysMary lou, I wont fill pretty head with their pretty liesMary lou, and dreams that never, never, never ever willCome trueMary lou, I dont deserve to hurt and make you cry likeYou doYou seen all the romantic moviesYou dream to take the boys homeBut when the action fades youre left all aloneYou deserve more than this, oh your love that can growAnd not playing outtakes, girl, from some late-late show,No noMary lou, youre not like all those others girlsMary lou, so afraid to shake up that real worldEvery night you go out lookin forTrue loves satisfactionBut youll end up setting for just lights, camera, actionIn another cameo role with some bit-player you befriendedYoure gonna go broken-heartedLookin for that happy endingMary lou, I know all those movies tooMary lou, now one wants the dreams, baby, more than I doBut mary lou, youre gonna end upBaby just another ticket stubMary lou, cryin alone in the theatreAs the credits roll
