Marco Polo Lyrics - Singles - Jane Siberry

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 

Oh Marco, I'm shallow 

But I don't want you to think 

That you're buying my love 

With these things 

The last place you wrote from was Constantinople 

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 

Oh Marco, I'm shallow 

But I don't want you to think 

That you're buying my love 

With these frivolous things 

But I'm dying for dresses 

And I've run out of perfume 

And I'm pining for a wine 

That is halfway decent 

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 room-mate is gone for the weekend 

Oh Marco, I'm shallow 

But I don't want you to think 

That you're buying my love 

With these frivolous things 

But I'm dying for dresses 

And I've run out of perfume 

And I'm pining for a wine 

That is halfway decent 

Marco Polo is coming tonight 

And he's bringing me things that I like 

Things that I like 

Things that I really, really like
