Mary is as Mary does   Don't try too hard to understand her   You will miss the point   And you will hit her heart   She is as she is    Just try to love her      Why must somebody be   How you perceive they should be    Why not love somebody for who they are   Where they are    Somebody like me    Somebody like me       Susan is as Susan was   She can't get her head out of her past   Life is her baton   And you were her field   I don't have her number but i do have to ask      Why must somebody be   How you perceive they should be   Why not love somebody for who they are   Where they are   Somebody like me   Somebody like me      A conversation lull   We're just a ship without a hull   Forget what I said and call us friends   But don't you sail away   Without sayin' what you gotta say   I know you well   So what the hell   I gotta say it again      Why must somebody be   How you perceive they should be   Why not love somebody for who they are   Where they are    Somebody like me   Somebody like me
