Mary Jane
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane
When you touch my mouth
I levitate
You take these bitter thoughts in my brain
And let them fall like summer rain
Sweet Mary Jane
(Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet)
Codeine
Silent, marvelous codeine
How I miss your chemical hug
Since I've been clean, ooh
But you hold me better than any man did
And no one's done it like you since, codeine, hm
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane
And codeine can kill any pain
Hm, red wine
You always gave me the best advice
Mmh, gave me courage (gave me)
To call the man that makes me cry
And I bought three bottles 'cause I tend to drink you dry
Mm-mm-mmh, oh, how we've danced tonight, red wine
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane, yeah
And codeine can kill any pain
Mandy, dear
Oh, when I met you, we had quite the year
You showed me love so pure, strong
Then left me in bed so alone
You're a stone cold bitch in the morning, aren't you?
Aren't you, Mandy?
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane (sweet Mary Jane)
And codeine can kill any pain, hm-mm
