Sweet Mary I've got to be leavin' Oh, I can't let you into my life 'Cause I know it would end in off grieving And the last thing I need is a wife  When I met you I met you for pleasure And the good times of runnin' around Then you seemed so understanding From the weight that's been draggin' me down Then the good times are coming between us Though you helped me I'm burning my load And I've never felt more like a lover But I'm running right off the road  Sweet Mary I've got to be leavin' Oh, I can't let you into my life 'Cause I know it would end off in grieving And the last thing I need is a wife  Oh, it's nothing you said or invited And it's nothing you did that was wrong And our love together was Heaven And I promised myself to be strong  Sweet Mary I've got to be leavin' Oh, I can't let you into my life 'Cause I know it would end off in grieving And the last thing I need is a wife.
