I came over to see you
Last Saturday afternoon,
But you couldn't go out
Too much to do up in your room.
Well, you never let me know
What you really had on your mind
Still you say you want to see me,
But there's no one else on the line.
Sometimes
I don't know what it is
I see in you.
You're driving me crazy
And that's nothing new.
Some girls will fool you.
You think they've got it all.
When they get close,
They're just a picture on the wall.
You are the real thing.
You can't be denied.
You don't have to keep it all
Hidden inside,
Marlene
Marlene
Marlene
Marlene
Marlene
Marlene
You want to run into the night,
But you find yourself afraid of the dark.
Well, you sigh, but truly
There's something won't let you hit the mark.
Whoa-oa-whoaoo
Whoa-oa-whoaoo
Girl you've never let anyone
Near enough to touch.
You're mystery,
But that's not enough.
If you want to see me,
If you want my love,
You've got to open up now.
What you frightened of?
Maybe someone hurt you,
Maybe broke your heart.
Maybe you're alone,
But you've got to make a start,
Marlene
Marlene
Marlene
Marlene
Marlene
Marlene
Girl you've never let anyone
Near enough to touch.
You're mystery,
But that's not enough.
If you want to see me,
If you want my love,
You've got to open up now.
What you frightened of?
Maybe someone hurt you,
Maybe broke your heart.
Maybe you're alone,
But you've got to make a start,
Marlene
Marlene
Marlene
Marlene
Marlene
Marlene
