What Will Mary Say

- Artist: Johnny Mathis
- peak Billboard position # 9 in 1963
- Words and Music by Paul Vance and Eddie Snyder

I must be going (don't go)
My heart is showing (don't go)
I better hurry awa-ay-ay-ay-ay
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

Your lips are thrilling
My arms are willing
I know that I shouldn't stay-ay-ay-ay-ay
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

What would I do if she should need me
And find me kissing you?
She's always trusted me completely
Her poor heart would bre-ea-eak in two

I must be going (don't go)
My heart is showing (don't go)
I better hurry awa-ay-ay-ay-ay
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

(Don't go)
(Don't go)

Who is the girl singing on this song?

The "don't go" woman soes not sound like a seductris trying to seduce the man. She sounds like a former lover who would like a second chance at their relationship. "His hart is showing, but her hart is breaking.
I like this song for its promotion of good vertue in doing the right thing and staying true to the one he is promissed to, but i pitty the woman who has lost someone she deeply loved.
A love that was not meant to be.
