COOLIO LYRICS - (I'm In Love With) Mary Jane

"(I'm In Love With) Mary Jane"



she's my inspiration

my part time occupation

the catalyst and my consumation

in my quest for education

no one could ever take her place and

no assimilation, so save you false accusations

i accept no imitations



so that's the situation without further hesitation

let me continue my demonstration

for the congregation

to break it down for all y'all simple and plain

i got a love for a girl named mary jane



[chorus:]



whatcha know about mary jane?

how ya'll feel about mary jane

ya'll don't know about mary jane

'cause she's my main thing



whatcha know about mary jane?

how ya'll feel about mary jane

ya'll don't know about mary jane

she makes my heart sing



as i walk around the edges of my mind

in an attempt to contemplate

what it really is that makes me tick

I'm reminded of emotions that saturate

my thoughts like sunshine

it always ain't the first time



that i'm feelin' this, feelin that

i'm feelin' that

they don't know about my baby

and the healing power

it makes a strong man stronger

and a crazy man sing

i'm talkin about mary jane



mary's potent, see, yes it opens me

and makes me see things in a way

i'd never thought i'd see

mary ease pain

and mary never complains

mary jane penetrates the brain

y'know what i'm sayin'



[chorus]



i'm not the first

and i probably won't be the last

i ain't mad at mary 'cause

mary always makes me laugh

mary brings light to the darkness

let me spark one up quickly

before they come and get me



don't listen to what they say 'cause

mary never contrary

mary mary very

nececessary extraordinary

me and mary to the mortuary

just one kiss on her sweet lips

and i become a visionary



mary never the same

mary don't change

mary make a man walk a mile in the rain

mary mary never temporary

she's my sanctuary

and when the love comes down

i'm the beneficiary



some say if it's this good

then it must be wrong

but mary makes me feel so good

'cause mary lasts so long

mary mary got no secondary

sweeter than a cherry

blackberry, or a strawberry



without mary, life ain't complete

'cause mary don't lie, mary don't steal

and mary don't cheat

let me break it down for all y'all

simple and plain

i've got a love for a girl named mary jane



[chorus]



i'm in love with with mary jane

i'm not the only one

mary likes to play around

i let her have her fun



she's not the kind of girl

that you can just tie down

mary likes to spread her love

and turn my head around



i'm in love with mary jane

she's my main thing

she makes me feel alright

makes my heart sing



and when i'm feelin' low

it comes as no surprise

turns me on with her love

takes me to paradise



do you love me, mary jane?



[chorus]
