You're asking me to believe in too many things
You're asking me to believe in too many things
I know this child

You're asking me to believe in too many things
You're asking me to believe in too many things

Mary, he is mine
(Mary, is he mine?)
Yeah, Mary, he is mine

You're asking me to believe in so many things
You're asking me to believe in so many things
