I told them I take photos for this magazine They let me in to see you comb your hair I watched for signs as I came through that door The anxious eyes that I've been waiting for It's no use hoping I'm a dream Oh Marliese The waiting almost dragged me to my knees Oh Marliese You never really thought that I'd leave you in peace? There's no use crying out 'cause they can't help you now You're forced to hear the words I have to say I saw your face when I was taken down You seemed so pleased, you're not so happy now It's your turn to be afraid Oh Marliese The waiting almost brought me to my knees Oh Marliese You didn't really think that I'd leave you in peace? Oh Marliese Marliese Marliese Oh Marliese The waiting almost dragged me to my knees Oh Marliese You never really thought that I'd leave you in peace? So where's the smooth composure of the movie star? You must have played this many times before Do I see tears? Well surely that's not true Don't kid yourself, it's not worth hurting you But remember when you try to sleep Oh Marliese The waiting nearly brought me to my knees Oh Marliese You never really thought that I'd leave you in peace? Oh Marliese The waiting almost brought me to my knees Oh Marliese You never really thought that I'd ever leave you in peace?
