text: 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
