Mary helps me make it through the hard times
But Jenny lays so softly in my arms
She fills my mind of thoughts so young and crazy
But Mary is the rock that I lean on

Now I'm caught between a rock and a soft place
I can't make up my mind which one to choose
Between a rock and a soft place
Either way I win
Either way I lose

You know Jenny covers everything in flowers
But Mary pulls the weeds as far as they grow
She gives me strength when things fall all around me
But Jenny gives the sweetest love I know
