Whats it Like Mary Jo? by The Orange Peels Lyrics
[Chorus]
What's it like Mary Jo
When you know what you know
Does your life
Move too fast or too slow
Mary Jo?
[Verse 1]
Wide-eyed and innocent
Always the teacher's pet
You had the world at your door
You were the Doris Day
Had your naïveté
Knew where you wanted to go
[Pre-Chorus]
So tonight when you go
Do you wake up feeling slow
In the morning when you rise
Do you wipe that sleep out of your eyes?
[Chorus]
What's it like Mary Jo
When you know what you know
Does your life
Move too fast or too slow
Mary Jo?
[Verse 2]
What happened to your wit
You didn't write the script
You only tell me your lines
And at the restaurant
You were the confidante
You found out what you wanted to find
[Pre-Chorus]
So tonight when you go
Do you wake up feeling slow
In the morning when you rise
Can you wipe that creep out of your eyes?
[Chorus]
What's it like Mary Jo
When you know what you know
Does your life
Move too fast or too slow
What's it like Mary Jo
When you know what you know
Does your life
Move too fast or too slow
Mary Jo?
What's it like Mary Jo
When you know what you know
Does your life
Move too fast or too slow
Mary Jo?
[Verse 1]
Wide-eyed and innocent
Always the teacher's pet
You had the world at your door
You were the Doris Day
Had your naïveté
Knew where you wanted to go
[Pre-Chorus]
So tonight when you go
Do you wake up feeling slow
In the morning when you rise
Do you wipe that sleep out of your eyes?
[Chorus]
What's it like Mary Jo
When you know what you know
Does your life
Move too fast or too slow
Mary Jo?
[Verse 2]
What happened to your wit
You didn't write the script
You only tell me your lines
And at the restaurant
You were the confidante
You found out what you wanted to find
[Pre-Chorus]
So tonight when you go
Do you wake up feeling slow
In the morning when you rise
Can you wipe that creep out of your eyes?
[Chorus]
What's it like Mary Jo
When you know what you know
Does your life
Move too fast or too slow
What's it like Mary Jo
When you know what you know
Does your life
Move too fast or too slow
Mary Jo?
