Mary, what can I do
to make you feel same as I do?
Stow me away to Ballico Bay
But I've got no sea legs at all
Sailors, they know the score
They don't come to port every storm
They've got fair weather gals
and rainy day dames
and they're gone on the wing before dawn
Man overboard against all of the evidence
Girl under seige doth protest
that she wants to be alone
The clown's in the water
The ship's pulling out
The circus won't ever leave town
He sees a lover and
she sees another man overboard
So she channels Garbo
Carves a halo of smoke
Still he spies through his watery eyes
and cries Mary, what can I do?

The clown's in the water
The ship's pulling out
The circus won't ever leave town
He sees a lover and
she sees another man overboard
another man overboard
another man overboard
Rhinestones
Just to break my heart in two
Just because you wanted to
Just to take me
Just to break me
Just to show me
That you own me
and you know that I know that you do
I say X, so you say Y
When you know I'm not a mathematical guy
I've got two left feet but I'll come running alright
I wasn't looking for trouble, it's just a lazy eye
I see you dancing on the White House lawn
With some press corps suit (looks) like you're getting along
He's got connections, I've got none
He'll give you rocks, I'll give you rhinestones
But if you need me to beg?
I can plead, but
I can't go back to K Street
Because you know where that bridge too far leads
Just to break my heart in two
Just because you wanted to
Just to take me
Just to break me
Just to show me
That you own me
and I know that you know that I know that you do
to make you feel same as I do?
