Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen Music:Bruce Springsteen | |
You're scrapbook's filled with pictures of all your leading men | |
Well baby don't put my picture in there with them | |
Don't make us some little girl's dream that can never come true | |
Oh baby don't do it to me I won't do it to you | |
Mary Lou, I'm not like all those other guys | |
Mary Lou, I won't fill your pretty head with their pretty lies | |
Mary Lou, and dreams that never, never, never ever will come true | |
Mary Lou, that'd only serve to hurt and make you cry like you do | |
You've seen all the romantic movies, you dream and take the boys home | |
But when the action fades you're left all alone | |
You deserve more than this, a real love that can grow | |
And I ain't playin' outtakes, girl, from some late late show, no | |
Mary Lou, you're not like all those others girls | |
Mary Lou, so afraid to shake up that real world | |
Every night you go out looking for true love's satisfaction | |
But you allways end up setting for just lights, camera, action | |
And another cameo role with some bit player you're befriending | |
You're gonna go broken-hearted looking for that happy ending | |
Mary Lou, I've seen all those movies too | |
Mary Lou, I know the hurt too much dreaming can do | |
Mary Lou, you're gonna end up just another lonely ticket sold | |
Mary Lou, crying alone in the theatre as the credits roll | |
Let's go |
