Marlene, Marlene
When you call my name
Marlene, Marlene
Like the summer rain
Like the honey too
Deep all in my brain
Marlene, Marlene
I'm in love with you
You know I wont be never satisfied
You make the blues running high
I don't know how many times I tried
To have a good girl by my side
Well, I can mumble and I can squat
You got me that baby talk
I try to run but I can't even walk
Marlene, Marlene
Marlene, Marlene
If it was up to me
You know you are in my dreams
Back to Tennessee
I can't change
I don't think I'm doomed
Marlene, Marlene
I give it all to you
You know I wont be never satisfied
You make the blues running high
I don't know how many times I tried
To have a good girl by my side
Well, I can mumble and I can squat
You got me that baby talk
I tried to run but I can't even walk
Marlene, Marlene
Marlene, Marlene
When you call my name
Marlene, Marlene
You're like the summer rain
Like the honey too
Deep all in my brain
Marlene, Marlene
I'm in love with you
