Marie - Tom Jones

Marie, don’t wait up for me

Oh I wish that I was there tonight

To kiss and hug and hold you tight

Marie have some sympathy

Ooh you know I’d be there if I could

To tell you all the things I should

On this cold cold night

Working overtime again

Oh honey you know it’s a time and a half

I gotta get it while I can

Well leave the porch light on

You know that your the only one

So let me hang up the phone

Or I’ll never get home

Honey I have to run

Marie, don’t wait up for me

Oh I wish that I was there tonight

To kiss and hug and hold you tight

Marie, have some sympathy

Ooh you know I’d be there if I could

To tell you all the things I should

It’s that same old line

The one that always worked before

I thought I was cool but she was nobody’s fool

I opened up the bedroom door

And I tiptoed in, a through the darkness to the bed

And when I give her a kiss

She turned her head and I missed

And I kissed some guy instead

Oh my Marie how I missed you

And if you give me one more chance

You’ll never hear these words again

Marie, don’t wait up for me

Oh I wish that I was there tonight

To kiss and hug and hold you tight

Marie, have some sympathy

Oh you know I’d be there if I could

To tell you all the things I should

Marie, don’t wait up for me

Oh I wish that I was there tonight

To kiss and hug and hold you tight

Marie, have some sympathy
