Who's got the funk?
When you're feeling low down
Who's going to love you?
When there's no one else around

Who's going to help you?
Especially when you're sick
Loving Mary
I need you quick

She knows and she gives her everything
She knows and she can do her thing
She knows and she tries her best
She knows, oh, you know she knows

Who's got the junk?
When you're feeling low down
Who's going to give?
When there's none to go around

Who's going to help you?
When you feel you've had enough
Mother Mary
This child, this rose

She knows and she gives her everything
She knows and she can do her thing
She knows and she tries her best
She knows, oh, you know she knows

But loving Mary
Do you feel the pain?
I'm falling down
And I can't get up again

Do ya, do ya, do ya (2x)
Just a striped guitar reaction

Who's got the funk?
When you're feeling low down
Who's going to help you?
When there's no one else around

Who's going to help you?
Especially when you're ill
Loving Mary
I hope you will

She knows and she gives her everything
She knows and she can do her thing
She knows and she tries her best
She knows, oh, you know she knows

But loving Mary
Do you feel the pain?
I'm falling down
And I can't get up again

Mother Mary, is there nothing you can do?
