Mary Anne Lyrics

Playin kickball in the school yard

The year before kindergarten when memories started at the day care

All the Little kids used to play there

We had no worries just hated nap time but fingerpaintin' and playin' tag was fine

And we would all run around except for this girl

She stayed in the corner, Yeah her name was Mary Anne

She missed half of the school days scince the year began

Never wore a shirt that showed more than her hands

She rockin' jeans & Long sleeves in like 90 degrees

You know lil' kids they treat her like she got a disease

Came in 1 day all her hair was gone

Said her mamma cut it off cause she did something wrong

Tears in her eyes when she finally said somethin

Usually she would get scared and wouldn't say nothin

Days that went by, she had to cry, wonder why did it happen to me

Day after day, she slipped away, wonder why did it happen to me

Elementary she got the seat next to me

Lucky i wasnt mean like the rest could be

She treated like an outcast wonder how long she could outlast

Bein alienated by the whole class

It was still touch and go with the whole school scenario

In for days out for weeks still scared to speak

I wonder if that one time she had tried to tell and the teacher shrugged her off like Oh Well

I wonder if that shut her down

Maybe she had no one to turn to

Maybe this little girl didnt know what to do

We had a project one week me and Mary Anne a team

So i invited her to my house for ice cream

She bangin on the door at the house invite her to sit on the couch Sarai - Mary Anne - http://motolyrics.com/sarai/mary-anne-lyrics.html

She looked me in the eyes

Mary Anne began to cry

I said what's wrong she said she wanted someone to tell her why

Days that went by, she had to cry,

wonder why did it happen to me

Day after day she slipped away, wonder why did it happen to me

After that incident she didnt really want to talk to me

I'd see her in the hall

Call out but she wouldnt walk with me

Junior high she got cover up caked up

You could see the bruises underneath the make - up

Stories to make up people askin question now

She breakin down but still no confessions now

She walk around dazed out lost in another land spaced out

And as days go by she grows more distant

Teachers barely aware of her existance

She in and out more out than in

And one day i'm in class

The ambulance pass screechin

Down by the artroom off to the right in the bathroom

They found Mary Anne on the floor

A bottle next to her

Said she took like 50 pills or more

And left a note that said she couldnt handle it no more

Days that went by, she had to cry,

wonder why did it happen to me

Day after day she slipped away, wonder why did it happen to me
