Marco Polo

[Verse 1]
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
Things that I like, things that I like

[Chorus]
Oh Marco—I'm shallow
But I don't want you to think
That you're buying my love
With these things

[Verse 2]
The last place you wrote from was Constantinople
Well I am not impressed Marco—I've been around
Well, anyways—I told our friends
And we'll meet you at the warehouse
Down by the docks tonight
Down by the docks tonight

[Chorus]
Oh Marco—I'm shallow
But I don't want you to think
That you're buying my love
With these frivolous things

[Post-Chorus]
But I'm dying for dresses
And I've run out of perfume
And I'm pining for a wine
That is halfway decent

[Verse 3]
Please don't think I'm forward but I made a reservation
At our favorite 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

[Chorus]
Oh Marco—I'm shallow
But I don't want you to think
That you're buying my love
With these frivolous things

[Post-Chorus]
But I'm dying for dresses
And I've run out of perfume
And I'm pining for a wine
That is halfway decent

[Outro]
Marco Polo is coming tonight
And he's bringing me things that I like
Things that I like
Things that I like
Things that I like
Things that I like
Things that I like
Things that I really, really like
