True Love is not Nice

Although the movie "There's Something about Mary" is a comedy, it is also about a kind of love that an awkward and shy boy (Ted) could have for a girl (Mary) throughout the years. After 13 years departure, Ted is still in love - maybe even obsessed - with Mary. Ted hires a Private Investigator Healy to help him to find Mary. Unfortunately, Healy betrays Ted and tries to make Mary become his own girl friend. Knowing something is going wrong, Ted drives down to Florida and seems to have won Mary's love when an anonymous letter exposes his being less than honest about his link to Healy. In one scene, Mary accuses Ted of stalking her and not letting her knows. Mary is hurt and she sends Ted away immediately. To Ted, true love is not nice. Before he goes, Ted turns his back to Mary and says the following touching statement:

No I didn't want to trick you.

Mary, I did it because,
I never stop thinking about you.

And if I didn't find you,
I knew my life would never ever be good again.

There's Something about Mary

His friends say stop whining,
they've had enough of that.
His friends would say stop pining,
there's others girls to look at.

They've tried to set him up with Tiffany and Indigo,
but there's something about Mary that they don't know.
Mary, there's just something about Mary.

Well, his friends say, look life's no fairy tale,
that he should have some fun,
he's suffered long enough.
Well, they may know about domestic and imported ale,
but they don't know a thing about love.

Well, his friends would say he's dreaming
and living in the past,
but they've never fallen in love,
so his friends need not be asked.

His friends would say be reasonable,
his friends would say just let go,
but there's something about Mary that they don't know.

Mary, there's just something about Mary.
