Marliese
I told them I take photos for this magazine.
They let me in to see you comb your hair.
I watched for signs as I came through that door.
The anxious eyes that I've been waiting for.
It's no use hoping I'm a dream.
[Chorus:]
Oh Marliese.
The waiting almost brought me to my knees.
Oh Marliese.
You didn't really think I'd leave you in peace.
It's no use crying out 'cos they can't help you now.
You're forced to hear the words I have to say.
I saw your face when I was taken down.
You seemed so pleased, you're not so happy now.
It's your turn to be afraid.
[Chorus]
So where's the smooth composure of the movie star.
You must have played this many times before.
Do I see tears? Well surely that's not true.
Don't kid yourself, it's not worth hurting you.
But remember when you try to sleep.
[Chorus]
...
Marliese
Les dije que tomaba fotos para esta revista
Me dejaron entrar para verte peinarte
Miré por señales cuando entraba por esa puerta
Los ojos ansiosos que he estado esperando
No sirve de nada esperar que sea un sueño
[Coro:]
Oh, Marliese
La espera casi me pone de rodillas
Oh, Marliese
No pensaste que te dejaría en paz
No sirve de nada gritar porque no pueden ayudarte ahora
Estás obligado a escuchar las palabras que tengo que decir
Vi tu cara cuando me detuvieron
Parecías tan contenta, no estás tan contenta ahora
Es tu turno de tener miedo
[Coro]
¿Dónde está la compostura suave de la estrella de cine?
Debes haber jugado esto muchas veces antes
¿Veo lágrimas? Bueno, seguro que eso no es verdad
No te engañes, no vale la pena lastimarte
Pero recuerda cuando intentas dormir
[Coro]
¿Qué?
