Marylou (studio outtake - 1979)
Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen Music:Bruce Springsteen
Youre scrapbooks filled with pictures of all your leading men
Well baby dont put my picture in there with them
Dont make us some little girls dream that can never come true
Oh baby dont do it to me I wont do it to you
Mary Lou, Im not like all those other guys
Mary Lou, I wont fill your pretty head with their pretty lies
Mary Lou, and dreams that never, never, never ever will come true
Mary Lou, thatd only serve to hurt and make you cry like you do
Youve seen all the romantic movies, you dream and take the boys home
But when the action fades youre left all alone
You deserve more than this, a real love that can grow
And I aint playin outtakes, girl, from some late late show, no
Mary Lou, youre not like all those others girls
Mary Lou, so afraid to shake up that real world
Every night you go out looking for true loves satisfaction
But you allways end up setting for just lights, camera, action
And another cameo role with some bit player youre befriending
Youre gonna go broken-hearted looking for that happy ending
Mary Lou, Ive seen all those movies too
Mary Lou, I know the hurt too much dreaming can do
Mary Lou, youre gonna end up just another lonely ticket sold
Mary Lou, crying alone in the theatre as the credits roll
Lets go
