Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart.
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you.
I knew Mary Lou..we'd never part,
So Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart.
You passed me by one sunny day,
flashed those big brown eyes my way,
And ooh, I wanted you forever more.
Now I'm not one that gets around,
I swear my feet stuck to the ground,
and though I never did meet you before.
I said Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart.
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you.
I knew Mary Lou..we'd never part,
So Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart.
I saw your lips, I heard your voice,
believe me, I just had no choice.
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away.
I thought about a moonlit night,
my arms around you good and tight,
that's all I had to see for me to say...
Hey, hey, Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart.
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you.
I knew Mary Lou..we'd never part,
So Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart.
So Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart.
Yes, Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart.
