Mary-Ann 
You're better than the world 
They took a lot of time 
Getting it right on this girl 
I said, Mary-Ann 
You're better than the world 
They did a lot of things right on this girl

Had a lot of girlfriends 
I should have known them 
Click your heels and count back from three 
Do you wanna go back? 
You should have known 
That the butterfly in reverse here is me

Mary-Ann 
You're better than the world 
They took a lot of time 
Getting it right on this girl 
I said, Mary-Ann 
You're better than the world 
They did a lot of things right on this girl

Where'd you wanna go to 
With nothing beside you 
But webbing and curfews and rain? 
And everything that hurts you 
Is locked up inside you 
Like butterflies with wings 
And other perfect things

We go swimming in the sunshine 
Dangling from clotheslines 
Separate and fall into me 
And did you ever see me 
Me absolutely?
Me, but all you, but still me?

Mary-Ann 
You're better than the world 
They took a lot of time 
Getting it right on this girl 
I said, Mary-Ann
You're better than the world 
They did a lot of things right on this,
Did a lot of things right on this, 
Did a lot of things right on this girl
