Deep Inside

Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John

Yeah yeah

Oh oh



The problem is, for many years

I've lived my life publicly

So it's hard for me to find a man I trust

I rarely trust



And every time I find someone I like

Gotta worry about if it's really me

That they see

And I thought you were the one, oh



Deep inside I wish that you could see

That I'm just plain old Mary

Mary



Deep inside I wish that you could see

That I'm just plain old Mary

Mary



I don't have a lot of friends

And sometimes I have to wonder

Is it cash they see when they look at me

'Cause they're looking for a ride that's free



So I made the choice to be

Good to those who were good to me

Don't judge me or think I'm bitter

For the evil God's allowed me to see

I'm just Mary



I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary

I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary



I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary

I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary



Deep inside I wish that you could see

That I'm just plain old Mary

Mary



Deep inside I wish that you could see

That I'm just plain old Mary

Mary



Deep inside I wish that you could see

That I'm just plain old Mary

Mary



Deep inside I wish that you could see

That I'm just plain old Mary

Mary



It's the car I drive, the clothes I wear

The diamonds, the furs, and the house

Don't make the woman



So I need someone to stand by me

And supply my needs

And I'm just plain old Mary



Deep inside I wish that you could see

That I'm just plain old Mary

Mary
