Mary got a baby and she`s only fifteen
You can`t see buddy for dust
Strangled in a small town, stuck out like a sore thumb
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Shame for the family
Mary got a secret and the whole little dirty town knows
Mary thought it was love, buddy thought it was lust
But it was Mary`s balloon that got busted
Mary`s old man just stares at the TV
Doesn`t look at Mary at all
Mary just shivers like a lamb in the rain
He begins to pace, he slaps her face
Mary`s mom`s shattered
Little baby sister just screamin` on the kitchen floor
So Mary runs away in the middle of the night
Cause she can`t stay home and be crucified
She says hey everybody here`s a four letter word
And a three letter word for you
Mary has her baby in a faraway town
Nobody makes any fuss
No flowers, no tears, not a friendly face appears
Nobody cares, nobody cares
Mary gives the baby up
Stares out the window at nothin` for a couple of days
Doesn`t see the baby, doesn`t have the heart
And she doesn`t go home to make a brand new start
She says hey everybody here`s a four letter word
And a three letter word for you
