Oh, Marion
The boy's got brains
He just don't use 'em, that's all
The boy's got brains
He just refuses to use 'em and that's all
He says, "The more I get to thinking
The less I tend to laugh"
The boy's got brains
He just abstains
The boy's got a heart
But it beats on his opposite side
It's a strange phenomenon
The laws of nature denied
He said, "It's a chance I had to take
So I shifted my heart for its safety's sake"
The boy's got a heart but it beats on
His opposite
Oh, Marion
I think I'm in trouble here
I should've believed you
When I heard you saying it
The only time
That love is an easy game
Is when two other people
Are playing it
The boy's got a voice
But the voice is his natural disguise
Yes the boy's got a voice
But his words don't connect to his eyes
He says, "Ah, but when I sing
I can hear the truth auditioning"
The boy's got a voice
But the voice is his natural
Oh, Marion
I think I'm in trouble here
I should've believed you
When I heard you saying it
The only time
That love is an easy game
Is when two other people
Are playing it
He just don't use 'em, that's all
The boy's got brains
He just refuses to use 'em and that's all
He says, "The more I get to thinking
The less I tend to laugh"
The boy's got brains
He just abstains
The boy's got a heart
But it beats on his opposite side
It's a strange phenomenon
The laws of nature denied
He said, "It's a chance I had to take
So I shifted my heart for its safety's sake"
The boy's got a heart but it beats on
His opposite
Oh, Marion
I think I'm in trouble here
I should've believed you
When I heard you saying it
The only time
That love is an easy game
Is when two other people
Are playing it
The boy's got a voice
But the voice is his natural disguise
Yes the boy's got a voice
But his words don't connect to his eyes
He says, "Ah, but when I sing
I can hear the truth auditioning"
The boy's got a voice
But the voice is his natural
Oh, Marion
I think I'm in trouble here
I should've believed you
When I heard you saying it
The only time
That love is an easy game
Is when two other people
Are playing it
