Small town attitude and big white lies breaking people's hearts in two and tearing up their lives
I've become a victim of this petty jealousy and I am not alone in this cause so has she
Listen and you'll see just what I mean
Hey Mary's ten years older but to me that's no big deal age is just a state of mind
Depends on how you feel and Mary feels all right to me and she gives me all I need
It ain't nobody's business 'cept for her and me
Why can't they let us be the way we are?
Oh Mary gets embarrassed when she feels an awkward stare
From a casual acquaintance and she finds it everywhere
I tell her not to be concerned go on about her day
She says she just don't understand why people are this way
And someone even told me I should play the hand I'm dealt oh there's a guy who's never loved
and don't know how it felt so I'm sticking with the queen of hearts I'm gonna call his bluff
Cause he's already tipped his hand and he hasn't got the stuff
And I've had just about enough of this small town attitude and big white lies
Breaking peoples hearts in two and tearing up their lives
I won't remain a victim to this petty jealousy
Cause I can rise above it and so can she Mary's got to see she has a choice
Oh Mary gets embarrassed when she feels an awkward stare
From a casual acquaintance and she finds it everywhere
I tell her not to be concerned go on about her day
She says she just don't understand why people are this way
With this small town attitude small town attitude OH OH OH OH OH OH OH
OH OH OH OH things are gonna change yeah they're gonna change
We're gonna live our lives just the way we want OOHHHHHHHHHHH
