Lyrics

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
Things that I like, 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
Well 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
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 roommate 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 like
Things that I like
Things that I like
Things that I like
Things that I really, really like
