Marvin: Mary, I guess it's time for me to speak the truth And tell you how I feel
Aston: You used to turn away when ever I had caught your stare I know sometimes I made you feel as if you wasn't there You would make such an effort just to get my attention How can you blame me baby cause I didn't know
All: Girl you never told me tell me why (You should have said something) Oh why? (It's too late now)
- Chorus - Mary (Mary) I know that you want me (I know that you want me) So I'm saying I'm sorry (sorry) That I never gave you time (Oooh) Mary (Mary) To save you heartache (heartache) Think it's time we should say I can never be the man that you need
Aston: Sometimes I wish on stars that We could have lived on Mars and There would be no temptation That's just imagination Maybe because of Lisa (Maybe) Or was it down to Keisha? (Maybe) If you'd have fought your corner, we'd be happy ever after
Marvin: So save your questions Cause there ain't no answers I can't help, you're on your own
- Chorus -
Marvin (Spoken): Mary, I wish you'd have said something How was I supposed to know? I'm sorry for how I treated you And kept you hanging on I guess I've gotta be cruel to be kind I'm sorry
