Song lyrics Marianne by John Hiatt

Oh, marianne
Please don?t marry that insurance man

I just saw your picture in the paper
Surrounded by extensive wedding plans
Tell me this is just one of your capers
Say you haven?t met with their demands

Chorus:
Oh, marianne
Love talks cheap and faster than I can
Oh, marianne
Please don?t marry that insurance man

I can?t see you packing up his lunches
I can?t see you diapering his son
You?re the girl who always played her hunches
So how?d you figure out that this was one

Chorus

I?m not saying I grew up in love with you
I?m sayin?, "why grow up at all? "

So tell that hoosier boy to put on clean socks
And the finest double-knits that he can wear
?cause when that invitation hits my mailbox
I?ll see you at his funeral, my dear
