She's got tiger eyes and they're floating across the room,
But they stop on you and they don't move away
She's got lips like razor blades that shine like moons,
Born in Tennessee, she's got it out for me

Mary Ann,
Won't you step away from me for a while?
I'm feeling hunted down
He is mine and this time you won't find your way in
Mary Ann,
Won't you step away from me for a while?
Mary Ann,
Won't you step away from me for a while?

Now I've seen that look of yours two years ago,
It's all a game to you but now I can play it too
Hard as hell to find a good man and I, I gave him all of me,
You won't take him that easy

Mary Ann,
Won't you step away from me for a while?
I'm feeling hunted down
He is mine and this time you won't find your way in
Mary Ann,
Won't you step away from me for a while?
Mary Ann,
Won't you step away from me for a while?

You walk to him, pull up your skirt to sit down,
Whisper in his ear, it comes so naturally
The music's loud, but I still hear his voice,
The words I won't forget, so loud and clear

His words so loud and clear, he said
"Mary Ann,
Won't you leave me alone for a while?
Can't you see that lady sitting there?
Well she is the only one that makes me crazy
Mary Ann,
Won't you leave me alone for a while? I see your beauty
Mary Ann,
There's only one girl here that I want truly
Mary Ann,
Leave me alone for a while, alone for a while?
Mary Ann,
Won't you leave me alone for a while, alone for a while?"
