How did i ever get into this mess
I fell in the river and i wrecked my dress
I wanted to look good because he's coming tonight
And he's bringing me things that i like
Oh marco--i'm shallow
But i don't want you to think
That you're buying my love
With these things
The last place you wrote from was constantinople
I am not impressed marco--i've been around
Well, anyways--i told our friends
And we'll meet you at the warehouse
Down by the docks tonight
Oh marco--i'm shallow
But i don't want you to think
That you're buying my love
With these frivolous things
But i'm dying for dresses
And i've run out of perfume
And i'm pining for a wine
That is halfway decent
Please don't think i'm forward but i made a reservation
At our favorite restaurant tonight for two
And if you need a place to stay
I mean if all the hotels are full
Well, my room-mate is gone for the weekend
Oh marco--i'm shallow
But i don't want you to think
That you're buying my love
With these frivolous things
But i'm dying for dresses
And i've run out of perfume
And i'm pining for a wine
That is halfway decent
Marco polo is coming tonight
And he's bringing me things that i like
Things that i like
Things that i really, really like
