Marco Polo — текст песни (Jane Siberry)

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
