Laying awake tonight

With silence next to me

A matches glowing light

Throwing a shadow I see

Less than a second a noise

And I know she's here

I know I'll let her in

'Cause Marie said so...



REFRAIN:

Marie

She's coming back

She is the one I can't forget

Marie

I can't deny

And even though it hurts inside



This time I'll tell her to go

Oh no, I wouldn't dare

It's hard to be alone

But even harder with her

I'm feeling torn between

Waiting behind the door

I know I let her in

'Cause Marie said so...



REFRAIN



A whisper touches my ear

I feel my mouth is dry

The answer in my head

Turns now into a lie

So it's all clear in my mind

And like the night before

I know I let her in

'Cause Marie said so...



REFRAIN
