Talking to Mary, you know you don't have to shout
She can hear what you're thinking like you're saying it right out loud
She sees behind that dirty look
It was her that followed down every every stupid turn you took
One day she'll go, I told you so
One day she'll go, I told you so
Saw the one big problem you keep under your hat
And its pretty unlikely that anyone else is cool with that
You got a bus fare in your pocket and more money down in your sock
But I can't tell you how to find her if you won't listen to her talk
One day she'll go, I told you so
One day she'll go, I told you so
Its no problem, I'll just keep quiet if its easier for you
To make believe in that I don't love you as much as I do
One day she'll go, I told you so
One day she'll go, I told you so
I told you so, I told you so
She can hear what you're thinking like you're saying it right out loud
She sees behind that dirty look
It was her that followed down every every stupid turn you took
One day she'll go, I told you so
One day she'll go, I told you so
Saw the one big problem you keep under your hat
And its pretty unlikely that anyone else is cool with that
You got a bus fare in your pocket and more money down in your sock
But I can't tell you how to find her if you won't listen to her talk
One day she'll go, I told you so
One day she'll go, I told you so
Its no problem, I'll just keep quiet if its easier for you
To make believe in that I don't love you as much as I do
One day she'll go, I told you so
One day she'll go, I told you so
I told you so, I told you so

I do t really know if Elliott was a religious guy, and probably not. But I guess in this song he is playing graetly with the idea of "Morher Mary" at least the Chrustian figure of it and how she has omniscient powers to look after someone... pretty cool song though.
