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
