Goodbye Marie
© Tom Reed, 2001

Wait a minute Marie that?s my heart on my sleeve
Before you throw it away listen to me please
This aint the kind of love you?ll find hanging `round your door
If you keep goin? the way your goin? it wont come `round no more

Yeah it matters Marie, why did you treat me that way
Yeah it matters to me but it matters a little bit less each day
And makes it easy to say goodbye Marie

I?m no mystery man. I?m as plain as they come
I don?t ride in to save the day but I?ll be there every day when the day is done
I?d like to think every once in a while we had something good
If you don?t mind I?ll keep on believin? I treated you the way I should

Yeah it matters Marie, why did you treat me that way
Yeah it matters to me but it matters a little bit less each day
And makes it easy to say goodbye Marie

You might kick it around for a while and you might change your mind
But everyday I?m feeling stronger, go ahead take your time.

So I sat myself down to set myself straight
I worked it out on my toes and fingers and I calculate
You?re the kind that?s nothing but trouble and you?re my type
From now on I got to keep myself from fallin? at first sight

Yeah it matters Marie, why did you treat me that way
Yeah it matters to me but it matters a little bit less each day
And makes it easy to say goodbye Marie
