People talkin' sound like dogs
Barkin' through the trees
Makin' no sense at all
Meanin' nothing to me
Mother Mary, quite contrary
I did not mean to
Let you go so quick
People talkin' crack me up
They have no clue
What it's like to be me
What it's like to lose you
Mother Mary, I grow weary
I did not mean to
Let you go so quick
People talkin' sound like dogs
Barkin' up the wrong tree
Take a good man down
And set the evil free
Mother Mary, quite contrary
I did not mean to
Let you go so quick
