Marianne

Marianne, Marianne

Let me do some quick explaining

You had me wrong all along

I thought you'd find it entertaining

Marianne, Marianne

Somehow you thought my love had ended

You're so upset that you forget

Broken hearts can all be mended

'Cause I was only joking when I said goodbye (goodbye)

I didn′t mean a single word (only joking)

How could I know that you would take me seriously

And find a new love in your life?

Marianne, Marianne

If you had only stopped to listen

Then you'd know I tried to show

Show you what you would be missin'

'Cause I was only joking when I said goodbye (goodbye)

I didn′t mean a single word (only joking)

How could I know that you would take me seriously

And find a new love in your life?

I was only joking when I said goodbye (goodbye)

I didn′t know you'd act so fast (only joking)

Tell him that all of this was just misunderstanding

Tell him you took me back again

That you took me back again

You believed I would leave

But that was just an ugly rumor

So instead I found a friend

A man without a sense of humor

'Cause I was only joking when I said goodbye (goodbye)

I didn′t mean a single word (only joking)

How could I know that you would take me seriously

And find a new love in your life?

'Cause I was only joking when I said goodbye (goodbye)

I did not know you'd act so fast (only joking)

Tell him that all of this was just misunderstanding

Tell him you took me back again

I was only joking

(Goodbye)

(Only joking)

You know I didn't mean it, baby

Tell him you took me back again

I was only joking

(Goodbye)

(Only joking)

I did not mean a single word

Tell him you took me back again

I was only joking

(Goodbye)
