yeah
that's me
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
when it's shoes i need
don't bring me flowers
don't bring me the sea
just bring me diamonds
that'll suit me fine
and i'll love you forever
and you'll be mine
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
when it's shoes i need
don't bring me flowers
don't bring me the sea
come on and bring me some diamonds
that'll suit me fine
and i'll love you forever
and you'll be mine
tough mary
tough mary
tough mary. oh
don't bring me posies
when it's shoes i need
don't bring me flowers
don't bring me the sea
come on and bring me some diamonds
that'll suit me fine
and i'll love you forever
and you'll be mine
oh
i'm tough
yeah
yeah i'm tough
