Lyrics

How did I ever get into this mess?
I fell in the river and I wrecked my dress
I wanted to look good
because he's coming tonight
and he's bringing me things that I like

oh Marco - I'm shallow
but I don't want you to think
that you're buying my love
with these frivolous things
but I'm dying for dresses
and I've run out of perfume
and I'm pining for a wine
that is halfway decent

please don't think I'm forward
but I made a reservation
at our favourite restaurant tonight for two
and if you need a place to stay
I mean if all the hotels are full
well - my roommate
is gone for the weekend

oh Marco - I'm shallow
but I don't want you to think
that you're buying my love
with these frivolous things
but I'm dying for dresses
and I've run out of perfume
and I'm pining for a wine
that is halfway decent

Marco Polo is coming tonight
and he's bringing me things that I like
