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 |
