| Marie, don’t wait up for me
|
| Oh I wish that I was there tonight
|
| To kiss and hug and hold you tight
|
| Marie have some sympathy
|
| Ooh you know I’d be there if I could
|
| To tell you all the things I should
|
| On this cold cold night
|
| Working overtime again
|
| Oh honey you know it’s a time and a half
|
| I gotta get it while I can
|
| Well leave the porch light on
|
| You know that your the only one
|
| So let me hang up the phone
|
| Or I’ll never get home
|
| Honey I have to run
|
| Marie, don’t wait up for me
|
| Oh I wish that I was there tonight
|
| To kiss and hug and hold you tight
|
| Marie, have some sympathy
|
| Ooh you know I’d be there if I could
|
| To tell you all the things I should
|
| It’s that same old line
|
| The one that always worked before
|
| I thought I was cool but she was nobody’s fool
|
| I opened up the bedroom door
|
| And I tiptoed in, a through the darkness to the bed
|
| And when I give her a kiss
|
| She turned her head and I missed
|
| And I kissed some guy instead
|
| Oh my Marie how I missed you
|
| And if you give me one more chance
|
| You’ll never hear these words again
|
| Marie, don’t wait up for me
|
| Oh I wish that I was there tonight
|
| To kiss and hug and hold you tight
|
| Marie, have some sympathy
|
| Oh you know I’d be there if I could
|
| To tell you all the things I should
|
| Marie, don’t wait up for me
|
| Oh I wish that I was there tonight
|
| To kiss and hug and hold you tight
|
| Marie, have some sympathy |
