Lyrics
Verse 1:
Oh Marie, can’t you see,
What your love has done to me?
Every night I sit and sigh,
Watchin’ lonely stars go by.
Chorus:
Oh Marie, please come back to me,
I’m as lost as a boy can be.
You took my heart and set it free,
Oh Marie, come back to me.
Verse 2:
All my friends, they laugh and say,
“She’ll be back again someday.”
But the jukebox plays our song,
And I’m still waitin’ all night long.
Chorus:
Oh Marie, please come back to me,
I’m as lost as a boy can be.
You took my heart and set it free,
Oh Marie, come back to me.
Bridge:
Maybe I was wrong, maybe I was blind,
But your name’s the only one on my mind.
If you say the word, I’ll be your fool,
’Cause lovin’ you’s my golden rule.
Final Chorus:
Oh Marie, please come back to me,
I’m as lost as a boy can be.
You took my heart and set it free,
Oh Marie, come back to me...
Style of Music
Late 1950s upbeat romantic rock’n’roll song in the style of “Oh! Carol.” Cheerful yet tender male vocal, piano-driven melody with backing harmonies. Instruments: upright piano, clean electric guitar, bass, light drums, handclaps. Swinging rhythm with a doo-wop feel. Warm mono vintage sound, slight tape saturation. Mood: playful, innocent, and heartfelt — a young man singing to the girl who broke his heart but still loves her. Style reminiscent of classic American teen pop of the early 1960s.
