People talkin' sound like dogs
Barkin' through the trees

Makin' no sense at all

Meanin' nothing to me

Mother Mary, quite contrary

I did not mean to
Let you go so quick

People talkin' crack me up

They have no clue

What it's like to be me

What it's like to lose you

Mother Mary, I grow weary

I did not mean to
Let you go so quick

People talkin' sound like dogs

Barkin' up the wrong tree

Take a good man down

And set the evil free

Mother Mary, quite contrary
I did not mean to
Let you go so quick
