This life that I've created will be the death of me
This lighter and these papers will tell me who I'm supposed to be
These words that I've been saying will be forgotten by next week
I'm in the habit of getting kinda faded and I'm feeling kinda jaded oh
Mary Jane why won't you leave my brain
Mary Jane while I still have a chance of ever being the same
Mary Jane oooh
My mama don't like you, but I do
A problem shared is a problem halved they say
I love that girl, can't wait ‘til she's passed my way
A face to know, a place to go
Yeah she offers me both
But I'm feeling all this hatred oh ah
Mary Jane why won't you leave my brain
Mary Jane while I still have a chance of ever being the same
Mary Jane oooh
My mama don't like you, but I do
When the light starts to fade
Don't want my confident to go away
Gotta find release, gotta find relief
Gotta find some ease somewhere inside of a leaf ah
But then it gets so hard to breath, oh it burns
And it's time for someone else to get what they need from her
Mary Jane why won't you leave my brain
Mary Jane while I still have a chance of ever being the same
Mary Jane oooh
My mama don't like you, but I do
