-peak Billboard position # 39 in 1962
-Words and Music by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil
Once I had a lion's heart, I was wild and free (sha la la-la)
I swore no girl could tame me down and make a pet of me (sha la la-la)
"I'm rough and tough, I can't be caught" I used to say
Then along came Mary and look at me today
Now I'm Mary's little lam
She leads me by the nose
Now I'm Mary's little lam
Wherever she goes, I goes
Other guys all envied me before Mary's time (sha la la-la)
Nobody dreamed that I'd end up a livin' nursery rhyme (sha la la-la)
"Bring on the girls" I used to say, "I'm not impressed"
Then along came Mary and you all know the rest
Now I'm Mary's little lam
She leads me by the nose
Now I'm Mary's little lam
Wherever she goes, I goes
Yeah, I'm Mary's little lam
She leads me by the nose
Now I'm Mary's little lam
Wherever she goes, I goes
Yeah, now I'm Mary's little lam
She leads me by the nose
Yeah, I'm Mary's little lam
Wherever she goes, I goes
REPEAT and FADE
