Marianne — текст песни (John Hiatt)

Oh, marianne

Please dont marry that insurance man



I just saw your picture in the paper

Surrounded by extensive wedding plans

Tell me this is just one of your capers

Say you havent met with their demands



Chorus:

Oh, marianne

Love talks cheap and faster than I can

Oh, marianne

Please dont marry that insurance man



I cant see you packing up his lunches

I cant see you diapering his son

Youre the girl who always played her hunches

So howd you figure out that this was one



Chorus



Im not saying I grew up in love with you

Im sayin, "why grow up at all? "



So tell that hoosier boy to put on clean socks

And the finest double-knits that he can wear

cause when that invitation hits my mailbox

Ill see you at his funeral, my dear



Chorus
