"Marlene" lyrics

When they told me, "Son
The way you're livings wrong"
I thought that I could make things easier by moving on

But I'm a fool for love
And I'm a fool for life
And what's a Pickett fence without a pretty trophy wife

Marlene, I, I really want a life with you
Marlene, ooh, It's the one thing I look forward to

But I don't want to settle for less
It's a funny feeling my heart beating out of my chest
I can't wait to picture you in your dress
With me in a tux, and I'm feeling nervous

Oh, I can't help but feel
The way I do inside
I want to make things real
I don't wanna make you cry
I just wanna be
The one that you hold tight

But baby it just takes some time

Well Marlene, I, I really want a life with you
Well Marlene, ooh, it's the only thing I want to do

But I'm a fool for love
And I'm a fool for life
And what's a Pickett fence without a pretty trophy wife
