Interpret:

Mary J. Blige

Album:

Mary

The problem is

For many years

I've lived my life

Publicly

So it's hard for me to find a man I trust

I really trust

And everytime I find someone I like

Gotta worry about

If it's really me

That they see

And I thought you were the one, yeah



[CHORUS]

Deep inside I wish that they could see

That I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary

[repeat]



I don't have a lot of friends

And sometimes I have to wonder

Is it cash they see when they look at me

'Cause they're lookin' for a ride that's free

So I made the choice to be

Good to those who are good to me

Don't judge me, don't think I'm bitter

For the evil does allow me to see I'm just Mary



[HOOK]

I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary

I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary

I, I, ohhhh



[CHORUS]



The problem is

For many years

I've lived my life

Publicly

And everytime I find a man

I, I can't trust him

Ohhhh
