Your scrapbook's filled with picturesof all your leading menWell baby don't me picture in there with themDon't make me some little girl's dreamthat can never come trueOh baby, don't do it to meI won't do it to youMary Lou, I'm not like all those other guysMary Lou, I won't fill pretty head with their pretty liesMary Lou, and dreams that never, never, never ever willcome trueMary Lou, I don't deserve to hurt and make you cry likeyou doYou seen all the romantic moviesYou dream to take the boys homeBut when the action fades you're left all aloneYou deserve more than this, oh your love that can growAnd not playing outtakes, girl, from some late-late show,Mary Lou, you're not like all those others girlsMary Lou, so afraid to shake up that real worldEvery night you go out lookin' fortrue love's satisfactionBut you'll end up setting for just lights, camera, actionIn another cameo role with some bit-player you befriendedYou're gonna go broken-heartedlookin' for that happy endingMary Lou, I know all those movies tooMary Lou, now one wants the dreams, baby, more than I doBut Mary Lou, you're gonna end upbaby just another ticket stubMary Lou, cryin' alone in the theatreas the credits roll
