You're scrapbook's filled with pictures
Well baby don't put my picture
Don't make us some little girl's
dream that can never come true
Oh baby don't do it to me
Mary Lou, I'm not like all
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
You've seen all the romantic movies,
you dream and take the boys home
But when the action fades
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
Mary Lou, so afraid to shake up that real world
Every night you go out looking for
But you allways end up setting for just lights, camera,
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
Mary Lou, you're gonna end up
just another lonely ticket sold
Mary Lou, crying alone in the
theatre as the credits roll
