Tough Mary Lyrics - At Last! - Etta James

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary) 

Yeah, that's me 

(Tough Mary is tough!) 

[Backup] 

The boys would come from miles around 

With presents every day 

But when they'd call on Mary 

This is what she'd say 

Don't bring me posies 

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary) 

When it's shoes I need 

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary) 

Don't bring me flowers 

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary) 

Don't bring me the sea 

(Tough Mary is tough!) 

Just bring me diamonds 

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary) 

That'll suit me fine 

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary) 

And I'll love you forever 

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary) 

And you'll be mine 

(Tough Mary is tough!)

Well Mary, she's a very pretty girl 

I guess she was born that way 

But whenever they would tell her that 

This is what she'd say 

Don't bring me posies 

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary) 

When it's shoes I need 

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary) 

Don't bring me flowers 

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary) 

Don't bring me the sea 

(Tough Mary is tough!) 

Come on and bring me some diamonds 

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary) 

That'll suit me fine 

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary) 

And I'll love you forever 

(Tough Mary, Tough Mary) 

And you'll be mine 

(Tough Mary is tough!)
