Mary's got a baby, pretty little baby
What am I supposed to do ([?])
I try my best to help her, show her that I care
But brothers got their problems too
(Beenie, yo, yo, yo)

[Post-Chorus: Beenie Man]
Hot man fi get a hot woman, ya
Rastaman fi get a ras woman, ya
A lioness fi get a lion, right, right

Hot man fi get a hot woman, ya
Rastaman fi get a ras woman, ya
A lioness fi get a lion, right, right

[Verse 1]
Too much drama and commotion that's surrounding me
It's a sticky situation and I can't break free
Lord I wish that sweet, sweet Mary could be my cherie
But my Mary's got a baby and it's not for me
[Refrain: (Beenie Man)]
Mary's got a baby, pretty little baby
What am I supposed to do (Yo, yo [?])
I try my best to help her, show her that I care
But brothers got their problems too
(Yo, yo, yo, yeah)

[Verse 2: (Beenie Man)]
Every morning that I wake it's only bills I see
It's so hard just for a man to build a family
All the stress and strife of life has got a hold on me
When I hear the baby cry it breaks a part of me - Oh well!
(Oh, na na, oh na na, na na, na)

[Refrain: (Beenie Man)]
Mary's got a baby, pretty little baby
What am I supposed to do ([?])
I try my best to help her, show her that I care
But brothers got their problems too
(Yo, yo, yo, yeah)

[Beenie Man:]
My life and your life is just familiar
Every day dem want to kill mi in the media
And dem say mi have seven baby mother
But mi check dem have a next baby father
Well a four youth mi get although mi a fret
'Cause every girl weh fi step in a mi crip yes
All now mi nuh see di next three yet

[Refrain: (Beenie Man)]
Mary's got a baby, pretty little baby
What am I supposed to do (What am I supposed to do)
I try my best to help her, show her that I care
But brothers got their problems too
(Yo, yo, yo, yeah)
[Post-Chorus: Beenie Man & Maxi-Priest]
Hot man fi get a hot woman, ya
Rastaman fi get a ras woman, ya
A lioness fi get a lion, right, right

Hot man fi get a hot woman, ya
Rastaman fi get a ras woman, ya
A lioness fi get a lion, right, right

[Outro:]
Mary's got a baby pretty little baby
What am I supposed to do
I try my best to help her, show her that I care
But brothers got their problem too
