Marianne (I Was Only Joking) Lyrics

marianne, marianne,
let me do some quick explainin'
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 did you forget,
broken hearts can all be mended

chorus:
'cause i was only joking when i said goodbye,
i didn't mean a single word
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' chorus II:
'cause i was only joking when i said goodbye,
i didn't mean a single word
how could i know that you would take me seriously
and find a new love in your life

coz i was only joking when i said goodbye,
i didn't know you'd act so fast,
tell him that all of this was just misunderstanding
tell him you took me back again, that you took me back again

ad lib

you did believe, i would leave,
but that was just an ugly rumor
so instead, you found a friend,
a man without a sense of humor

repeat chorus II
