Lyrics
ME AND MARY GO 'ROUND
WORDS AND MUSIC:
MONTE THOMAS
DUANE LANGSTON
VERSE:
I'VE HEARD IT SAID THAT OPPOSITES ATTRACT
BUT LATELY OUR LOVE'S BEEN A BALANCING ACT
OUR FEELINGS GO UP AND OUR FEELINGS GO DOWN
IT'S QUITE A RIDE WHEN ME AND MARY GO 'ROUND
CHORUS:
I FEEL LIKE THE MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE
I WISH I COULD LOVE HER WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE
SHE SENDS MY HEART FLYING HIGH IN THE AIR
AND I HOPE I NEVER COME DOWN
EVEN WHEN ME AND MARY GO 'ROUND
VERSE:
LIKE A CARNIVAL COWBOY ON A CAROUSEL RIDE
WE'RE FAR APART WHEN WE'RE SIDE BY SIDE
I'M GOING UP WHILE SHE'S COMING DOWN
THERE'S NO WONDER THAT ME AND MARY GO 'ROUND
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
THERE'S SILENCE LIKE THUNDER
WHEN WE TURN OUT THE LIGHTS
SHE TOUCHES MY HAND AND EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT
WE HOLD EACH OTHER NOT MAKING A SOUND
AT NIGHT IT'S THE BEST WHEN ME AND MARY GO 'ROUND
REPEA T CHORUS
