Deep Inside Lyrics

[00:09.53] Yeah
[00:16.87] Yeah-yeah
[00:24.16] Whoa-whoa-ooh
[00:28.35] Ooh
[00:32.27] The problem is, for many years, I've lived my life publicly
[00:39.32] So, it's hard for me to find a man I trust (I trust), I really trust
[00:47.26] And every time I find someone I like, gotta worry about if it's really me that they see
[00:58.08] And I thought you were the one, ooh
[01:02.27] Deep inside, I wish that you could see, (I wish that they could see) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary (that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary), Mary, yeah, yeah
[01:16.46] Deep inside, I wish that you could see, (I wish that they could see) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, (hmm) Mary, (ooh)
[01:31.23] I don't have a lot of friends (friends)
[01:34.94] And sometimes, I have to wonder, is it cash they see, when they look at me? (Look at me)
[01:42.61] 'Cause they're lookin' for a ride, that's free (free)
[01:46.09] So, I made the choice to be good to those who are good to me
[01:53.15] Don't judge me, or think I'm bitter (bitter)
[01:57.39] For the evil does allow me to see (see), I'm just Mary
[02:02.63] I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary (ooh)
[02:06.29] I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary (yeah)
[02:09.81] (I'm just Mary, can't you see that I, I)
[02:17.56] I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
[02:19.36] (I said, I said I'm just Mary)
[02:21.36] I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary (ooh, yeah, yeah)
[02:30.33] Oh-ooh, ooh
[02:31.46] Deep inside, I wish that you could see (deep inside, I wish that) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary
[02:38.43] (I wish that they can see that I'm Mary, yeah), Mary (ooh)
[02:45.63] Deep inside, I wish that they could see, (deep inside, I wish that) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary, (ey-ey-yeah) (can't help it, can't help it), (ooh)
[03:00.74] Deep inside, I wish that you could see (every day of my life I wish) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary (ooh, I wish that I could see that I'm just ol' Mary, yeah, yeah)
[03:15.40] Deep inside, I wish that they could see (and I wish, I wish, I wish) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, (ooh) Mary (oh no, no, no)
[03:30.31] The car I drive (yeah), the clothes I wear (ooh), the diamonds, the furs, and the house (ooh), don't make the woman (don't make the woman)
[03:41.21] Material things don't mean nothing to me, yeah-yeah
[03:45.23] So, I need someone to stand by me, and supply my needs
[03:52.03] (I need someone), and I'm just plain ol' Mary
[03:55.30] Why can't you love the person inside, and stop lookin' outside?
[04:00.68] Deep inside, I wish that they could see (I said that I'm just Mary, yeah) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary (all day, all night, I'm Mary, Mary, Mary, ooh)
[04:14.88] Deep inside, I wish that they could see (said I wish, and I wish, and I wish, and I wish)
[04:20.86] That I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary (I wish that they can see that free Mary), (M.J.B., yeah)
[04:30.00] Deep inside, I wish that you could see
[04:33.74] If I could give you something else
[04:36.55] But I can't give you nothing, but me, all day and all night (Mary)
[04:42.86] I'm just Mary, Mary, Mary
[04:45.20] Deep inside, I wish that you could see (it can't be the clothes or the car I drive, 'cause I), that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary
[04:59.58] Deep inside, I wish that you could see (see, the problem is, for many years, I've lived my life publicly) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, (and everytime my man don't mind, I, I can't trust him, ooh) Mary
[05:14.71] Deep inside, I wish that you could see that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary (yeah)
[05:25.59]
