| Dear Marie, you were right about me
|
| Dear Marie, you were right, you were right
|
| I should have been kinder
|
| I surely knew better
|
| Not much of a writer
|
| But I’m sending a letter
|
| I hope it finds you
|
| In love and at peace
|
| Don’t need much of your time
|
| For this apology
|
| Oh, Dear Marie, you were right about me
|
| Dear Marie, you were right, you were right
|
| You said that I could leave you lonely in a crowded room
|
| By smiling bright for everyone but you
|
| And I’m embarrassed to confess it, but it all rings true
|
| You said that charm of mine was easy to abuse
|
| And if I’m so smart
|
| How can I learn so slow
|
| You had the hard part
|
| I was the last to know
|
| I let the flash blind me
|
| The years pass by
|
| Standing in your light for most of the time
|
| And I did it, I kissed him
|
| I knew it would hurt you
|
| But it put down my loneliness
|
| And that felt like virtue enough
|
| I know it’s much too late
|
| No need to reply
|
| I put us all at stake
|
| Marie, you were right
|
| You said that I could leave you lonely in a crowded room
|
| Just by smiling bright for everyone but you
|
| And I’m embarrassed to confess it, but it all rings true
|
| You said that charm of mine was easy to abuse
|
| I’ve had one too many
|
| It takes quite a few
|
| Was counting my losses
|
| Wasn’t sure if I should count you
|
| And I know it’s much too late
|
| No need to reply
|
| I put us all at stake
|
| Marie, you were
|
| Marie, you were right |
