Tekst piosenki 'Marianne' wykonawcy Eric Tagg

Marianne, Marianne
Let me do some quick explaining
You had me wrong all along
I thought you'd find it entertaining

Marianne, Marianne
Somehow you thought my love had ended
You're so upset that you forget
Broken hearts can all be mended

'Cause I was only joking when I said goodbye (goodbye)
I didn′t mean a single word (only joking)
How could I know that you would take me seriously
And find a new love in your life?

Marianne, Marianne
If you had only stopped to listen
Then you'd know I tried to show
Show you what you would be missin'

'Cause I was only joking when I said goodbye (goodbye)
I didn′t mean a single word (only joking)
How could I know that you would take me seriously
And find a new love in your life?

I was only joking when I said goodbye (goodbye)
I didn′t know you'd act so fast (only joking)
Tell him that all of this was just misunderstanding
Tell him you took me back again
That you took me back again

You believed I would leave
But that was just an ugly rumor
So instead I found a friend
A man without a sense of humor

'Cause I was only joking when I said goodbye (goodbye)
I didn′t mean a single word (only joking)
How could I know that you would take me seriously
And find a new love in your life?

'Cause I was only joking when I said goodbye (goodbye)
I did not know you'd act so fast (only joking)
Tell him that all of this was just misunderstanding
Tell him you took me back again

I was only joking
(Goodbye)
(Only joking)
You know I didn't mean it, baby
Tell him you took me back again

I was only joking
(Goodbye)
(Only joking)
I did not mean a single word
Tell him you took me back again

I was only joking
(Goodbye)
