Rumors are flying all over Galilee these days
And Mary, I'm trying to be cool
When my friends walk by and, they cannot look at me
In the eye Baby, I'm trying
You're asking me to believe in too many things
You're asking me to believe in too many things
I know this child was sent here to heal our broken time
And some things are bigger, than we know
When somehow you find out that you lost a father
To a god well, Mary, that's life
You're asking me to believe in so many things
You're asking me to believe in so many things
Oh Mary, is he mine? (Mary, is he mine?)
Mary, is he mine? (Mary, is he mine?)
Oh Mary, is he mine? (Mary, is he mine?)
Tell me, is he?
You're asking me to believe in too many things
You're asking me to believe in too many things
Now Mary, he is mine. (Mary, he is mine.)
Mary, he is mine. (Mary, is he mine?)
Oh Mary, he is mine. (Mary, he is mine.)
You're asking me to believe in so many things
You're asking me to believe in so many things
Merry Christmas everyone :)
