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 throught that door
The anxious eyes that I've been waiting for
It's no use hoping I'm a dream
[Chorus:]
Oh Marliese
The waiting almost brought me to my knees
Oh Marliese
You didn't really think I'd leave you in peace
It's no use crying out 'cos 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
[Chorus]
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
Bur remember when you try to sleep
[Chorus]
