[Verse 1:]
Mary Mary
What's that secret you hide?
If I could know just what you do to me
I love the way you look away when I smile at ya
I love the way you bring me to my knees

(Pre-Hook)
Every day
It I get a little more attracted
You make me feel so strong
I'm not shy
You know i like to make it happen
Why do I wait so long?

Mary, Mary
Let me into your world
You know I know you've got another side
Don't tell me that you're just a shy little girl, Mary
Don't tell me that you won't go for a ride

(Pre-Hook)
Every day

I can't think of no one else, Mary

Playing like you don't hear me calling ya name
A wink of your eye and I'm going insane
And every night my dream

Taking a nibble, taking a bite
Of my love
Why ya look me straight in the eyes
And prove it to me that you ain't really shy, Mary

I could be sorry that I waited
But only time will tell

Hi-Five is an R&B group from Waco, Texas, originally consisting of lead singer Tony Thompson, Russell Neal, Roderick Clark, Marcus Sanders, and Toriano Easley, who was later replaced by Treston Irby. They released their self-titled debut album in 1990, which peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and was certified Platinum. This album featured the #1 R&B/Top 10 Pop hit “I Can’t Wait Another Minute,” and “I Just Can’t Handle It,” which peaked at #3 on the R&B Singles chart, as well as their biggest hit, the Teddy Riley-produced “I Like the Way (The Kissing Game),” which hit #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B Singles chart.

Their follow-up album Keep It Goin' On was released in 1992 and featured the hit songs “She’s Playing Hard To Get,” which peaked at #2 on the R&B Singles chart and #5 on the Pop chart, as well as the R. Kelly-produced single “Quality Time,” which peaked at #3 on the R&B Singles chart. Their third album Faithful was released in 1993 and contained the hit singles “Unconditional Love” and “Never Should’ve Let You Go”, which were also featured on the soundtracks to Menace II Society and Sister Act 2, respectively.

The group disbanded in 1994 and Tony Thompson went on to release his solo album Sexsational in 1995. Thompson re-formed Hi-Five with four new members and released the album The Return independently in 2005 but he was issued a cease-and-desist order by the original members of the group to halt sales of the album. As discussions of putting the original group back together were taking place, Tony Thompson passed away on June 1, 2007 in his hometown of Waco, Texas. Treston Irby and Marcus Sanders have carried on with the Hi-Five name, continuing to make music and tour.
