Mary Lou

You're scrapbook's filled with pictures of all your leading men 
Well baby don't put my picture in there with them 

Don't make us some little girl's dream that can never come true 
Oh baby don't do it to me I won't do it to you 
Mary Lou, I'm not like all those other guys 
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 make you cry like you do 
You've seen all the romantic movies, you dream and take the boys home 
But when the action fades you're left all alone 
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 all those others girls 
Mary Lou, so afraid to shake up that real world 

Every night you go out looking for true love's satisfaction 
But you allways end up setting for just lights, camera, action 
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 much dreaming can do 
Mary Lou, you're gonna end up just another lonely ticket sold 
Mary Lou, crying alone in the theatre as the credits roll 
Let's go
