[Verse 1] She steps where the lamplight dies Veil in the rain, black satin eyes Shoes on the curb, no sound, no name Then every fool feels that pull the same A pretty face with a broken smile She’ll walk you in, just to stay awhile Empty pocket, warm hand, cold kiss Then she’s gone in the fog with a final hiss [Pre-Chorus] You hear her laugh in the brick wall air You turn around, but she’s already وہاں—there One look, and your knees go weak One touch, and you can’t speak [Chorus] Don’t let her get you alone Don’t let her get you alone Scary Mary, leave her be Scary Mary, set you free Don’t let her get you alone Don’t let her get you alone If she calls your name tonight Run from the dress, run from the eyes [Verse 2] Down in the alley, the gutter glows A shadow blooms where the cold wind blows Men with a grin and a hungry plan Come back with fear where their courage ran They find them stiff by the butcher’s door Eyes wide open, staring at more Faces locked in a frozen scream Like they saw the end of a dream [Pre-Chorus] She hums a tune from a dead brass band And she takes your heart with a paper-thin hand One step back, but it’s much too late She’s got a room inside your fate [Chorus] Don’t let her get you alone Don’t let her get you alone Scary Mary, leave her be Scary Mary, set you free Don’t let her get you alone Don’t let her get you alone If she calls your name tonight Run from the dress, run from the eyes [Bridge] Mothers say, “Boy, keep close to home” Cab drivers won’t drive that zone If her heels click twice on the cobblestone You better keep your hands on the wheel and go [Breakdown] Ha-ha, hush now Blue veil, black vow Cold smile, don’t bow Run now, run now [Final Chorus] Don’t let her get you alone Don’t let her get you alone Scary Mary, leave her be Scary Mary, set you free Don’t let her get you alone Don’t let her get you alone If she calls your name tonight Run from the dress, run from the eyes
