Mary Jane (All Night Long) [Commentary] Lyrics

Wow, the first song on the My Life album is "Mary Jane". And um, it's
Using "All Night Long" and Teddy Pendergrass "Close the Door", so
Many different- it's like, a couple different songs in there. Chucky
Thompson was such a genius with it, and I was always so excited to
Work with him. And this song is just basically about, you know, what
My relationship was about. It was about me not wanting to fuss and
Fight, 'cause I was doing a lot of fussing and fighting. And it was
About me wanting to, you know, have fun with that person for the
Night. I don't wanna, you know, go all night long and it's just
Saying, you know, I'm- It's kind of a fun song, so it could- it
Could- it was targeting relationships, it was targeting my
Relationship, and it was just targeting me just being young
And fast, and just saying "Ooh, baby, not tonight." And "
I don't wanna fuss and fight" comes from just me fussing and
Fighting all the time back then. So it was "Tonight, I don't
Wanna fuss and fight, I wanna- I just wanna make it right, ooh
Baby, we got work to do." So, yeah, it was just- it was about just
Trying to have- just- just have a little more fun than normal
