So many nights looking to find The good that's buried in this heart of mine Lost in a mirror, caught in a bind Seeing myself in them every time Talk too much or not enough Everything tender always comes out rough Someday I'll find the answer somehow But I'm just working on getting in right now Thought that I saw something in you A glimpse of a story that could've come true Playing my part in an ugly disguise And acting like someone I don't recognize You know I talk too much or not enough Everything tender always comes out rough Someday I'll find the answer somehow But I'm just working on getting in right now Call it bad timing Call it whatever you want But I won't spend another lifetime Getting it wrong Talk too much or not enough Everything tender always comes out rough Someday I'll find the answer somehow But I'm just working on getting in right now You know I talk too much or not enough Everything tender always comes out rough Someday I'll find the answer somehow But I'm just working on getting in right now

Marie douceur c'est ainsi que tu me surnommes Tu crois bien sûr me connaître mieux que personne Marie colère existe aussi fais bien attention Je te l'ai déjà dit cent mille fois sur tous les tons Marie douceur a beaucoup beaucoup de patience Oui mais un jour tu verras entrer dans la danse Marie colère avec des éclairs dans les yeux Je sais lequel aura le plus peur de nous deux Marie douceur est avec toi bien trop gentille Si tu persistes à regarder les autres filles Marie colère ne sera plus du tout d'accord Et sautera sur toi toutes griffes dehors Marie douceur aime bien chanter des ballades Mais ne t'y fies pas trop un bon conseil prends garde Marie colère adore les éclats de voix Alors choisis entre les autres filles et moi Marie douceur c'est ainsi que tu me surnommes Tu crois bien sûr me connaître mieux que personne Marie colère est maintenant là devant toi Marie douceur n'est plus qu'un souvenir déjà

Marie Marie Playing guitar on the back porch I sit in my car Why is she so sad Marie Marie Marie Marie It's so lonely in these farmlands Please come with me To the bright lights downtown Marie Marie I said, "Hey, pretty girl Don't you understand I just want to be your loving man" Marie Marie The sun is down in the corn fields The evening is dark And you sing so sad Marie Marie Marie Marie I got two weeks in back pay There's gas in my car And your folks say I must go Marie Marie I said, "Hey, pretty girl Don't you understand I just want to be your loving man" Marie Marie Playing guitar on the back porch I leave in my car While you sing so sad Marie Marie
