Journey's End : album-words

Marie • checked for BtP by Matthew Fisher


Thanks to the kind co-operation of Matthew Fisher, BtP is proud to present the authenticated words for his 1973 solo-album, Journey's End   Oh Marie, people say that I'm a fool
But I'm smart enough to see that you no longer care for me
Oh Marie now you've broken every rule
And I just sit here thinkin'
'Bout the way it's gonna be

Uh huh huh my Marie
Where did I go wrong
You know I loved you for so long
Oh my Marie
Please don't turn away
You know I need you more each day

Oh Marie people say I'm growing old
But I'm young enough to know it's gonna hurt me when you go
Oh Marie now your love for me's grown cold
And I just sit here thinkin'
'Bout the way it used to be

Uh huh huh my Marie
Tell me, where did I go wrong
You know I loved you for so long
Oh my Marie
Please don't turn away
You know I need you more each day

Oh please Marie you know I've never cared for anybody else but you
And when you tell me you're gonna leave I can't believe it's true
Because I need you
Oh I need you my Marie

Oh Marie people say that I'm a fool
But I'm smart enough to see
That you no longer care for me
Oh Marie now you've broken every rule
And I just sit here thinkin'
'Bout the way it's gonna be

Uh huh huh my Marie
Tell me, where did I go wrong
You know I've loved you for so long
Oh my Marie
Please don't turn away
You know I need you more each day
A-ha Ooh ... Oo Oo Oo Oooo ... Ooo ...

NB In this song, what has been written as 'Uh huh huh' is simply an elongation of the word 'Oh', but 'Oh ho ho' looks even sillier.
