How did I ever get into this mess
|
I fell in the river and I wrecked my dress
|
I wanted to look good because he's coming tonight
|
And he's bringing me things that I like
|
|
Oh Marco--I'm shallow
|
But I don't want you to think
|
That you're buying my love
|
With these things
|
|
The last place you wrote from was Constantinople
|
I am not impressed Marco--I've been around
|
Well, anyways--I told our friends
|
And we'll meet you at the warehouse
|
Down by the docks tonight
|
|
Oh Marco--I'm shallow
|
But I don't want you to think
|
That you're buying my love
|
With these frivolous things
|
|
But I'm dying for dresses
|
And I've run out of perfume
|
And I'm pining for a wine
|
That is halfway decent
|
|
Please don't think I'm forward but I made a reservation
|
At our favorite restaurant tonight for two
|
And if you need a place to stay
|
I mean if all the hotels are full
|
Well, my room-mate is gone for the weekend
|
|
Oh Marco--I'm shallow
|
But I don't want you to think
|
That you're buying my love
|
With these frivolous things
|
|
But I'm dying for dresses
|
And I've run out of perfume
|
And I'm pining for a wine
|
That is halfway decent
|
|
Marco Polo is coming tonight
|
And he's bringing me things that I like
|
Things that I like
|
Things that I really, really like
|
|
