brenda lee-mary’s going out of her mind Lyrics

she combs through her silver hair
with a brush that isn’t there
as she looks into the mirror
with the strangest stare
she smears her lipstick on
and rubs her tired eyes
then she plays with her favorite dolly
and sings it a lullaby
mary’s goin’ out of her mind
waitin’ for the man who left her behind
mary’s goin’ out of her mind
livin’ in a crazy nightmare all the time
he’s been gone three years but she doesn’t know
to her he’s still there
’cause he promised he never would go
and mary’s goin’ out of her mind
well tonight there’s a special dinner
with a table set for two
she pours from an empty bottle
and says
darlin’ here’s to you” she looks at the empty chair and sees him smilin’ sittin’ there she sings happy birthday as she cuts his cake with care mary’s goin’ out of her mind waitin’ for the man who left her behind mary’s goin’ out of her mind livin’ in a crazy nightmare all the time he’s been gone three years but she doesn’t know to her he’s still there ’cause he promised he never would go and mary’s goin’ out of her mind well now her party’s over and she lays down to cry she doesn’t hear the radio that’s been on since last july she gets up and whispers goodnight and kisses his photograph then she stumbles around in a daze and just starts to laugh mary’s goin’ out of her mind waitin’ for the man who left her behind mary’s goin’ out of her mind livin’ in a crazy nightmare all of the time mary’s goin’ out of her mind livin’ in a crazy nightmare all of the time”
