Lyrics Tough Mary - Etta James

Tough Mary

The boys would come from miles around\nWith presents every day\nBut when they’d call on Mary\nThis is what she’d say\nDon’t bring me posies\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nWhen it’s shoes I need\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nDon’t bring me flowers\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nDon’t bring me the sea\n(Tough Mary is tough!)\nJust bring me diamonds\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nThat’ll suit me fine\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nAnd I’ll love you forever\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nAnd you’ll be mine\n(Tough Mary is tough!)\nWell Mary, she’s a very pretty girl\nI guess she was born that way\nBut whenever they would tell her that\nThis is what she’d say\nDon’t bring me posies\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nWhen it’s shoes I need\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nDon’t bring me flowers\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nDon’t bring me the sea\n(Tough Mary is tough!)\nCome on and bring me some diamonds\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nThat’ll suit me fine\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nAnd I’ll love you forever\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nAnd you’ll be mine\n(Tough Mary is tough!)\nTough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary…\nOh, don’t bring me posies\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nWhen it’s shoes I need\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nDon’t bring me flowers\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nDon’t bring me the sea\n(Tough Mary is tough!)\nCome on and bring me some diamonds\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nThat’ll suit me fine\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nAnd I’ll love you forever\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nAnd you’ll be mine\n(Tough Mary is tough!)\nOh, I’m tough\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nYeah, yeah I’m tough\n(Tough Mary, Tough Mary)\nOoh…
