Story Behind The Song

Lyrics
I've got responsibilities, I've got appointments to keep,
I've got people who count on me
But you know that at the end of the day, I'm on my way,
and the devil couldn't keep me away from you.
No, No, the devil couldn't keep me away
'Cause you know I'm your Peter Parker
and I'll never be no Bruce Wayne
and I don't want no Wonder Woman
I only want my Mary Jane
I wear a mask in front of everyone else but with you I'm myself
and I come out of my shell.
When you suspect I have a secret lover and it's one or the Other
you'll soon discover it's you.
Oh, why did it have to be?
It's always only ever been you!
'Cause you know I'm your Peter Parker
and I'll never be no Bruce Wayne
and I don't want no Wonder Woman
I only want my Mary Jane
When it seems that I can't take any more, I'm six feet under the floor
well, you know you're my cure.
I think of you, and it gives me the strength I need, I rise up and take the lead
inspired by you I will succeed
Oh, yeah, with you by my side I'll always succeed
'Cause you know I'm your Peter Parker
and I'll never be no Bruce Wayne
and I don't want no Wonder Woman
I only want my Mary Jane
Now and then I used to get this feeling, my mind started reeling
I'd be bouncing off the ceiling
Then one day, I just knew what to do: I had to marry you
because together we can make it through
Woah-oh uh Woah-oh uh- Woah-oh Oh Oh Oh Woah-Oh Wuh O-oh
Woah-oh uh Woah-oh uh- Woah-oh Oh Oh Oh Woah-Oh Wuh O-oh
'Cause you know I'm your Peter Parker
I'll never never never be no Bruce Wayne
and I don't want no Wonder Woman
I only want my Mary Jane
Come on, why don't you be my Mary Jane?
Woah-oh uh Woah-oh uh- Woah-oh Oh Oh Oh ah-Oh Wuh O-oh
Woah-oh uh Woah-oh uh- Woah-oh Oh Oh Oh oh- oh Woah-Oh Wuh Oh
I hit the jackpot with you Mary Jane.
