"Don't Ask Me, Ask Marie" lyrics

Don't Ask Me, Ask Marie

Don't ask me
Ask Marie
She's the one
Who wanted to be free

I don't know why
She said goodbye
So if you must know
Don't ask me
Ask Marie

Yes, it really hurts me
To talk about it now
I guess it's just
A little too close to my heart
I can't understand
How two people so close
Could be so far apart

And I'd give anything
Just anything
To have her back
Where she belongs
But how can I make things right
When I don't even know
What went wrong?

Don't ask me
Ask Marie
She's the one
Who wanted to be free

I don't know why
She said goodbye
So if you must know
Don't ask me
Ask Marie

Cause I don't really know what happened
I thought everything between us
Was fine
But you know
Something must have gone wrong
Cause Marie
She changed her mind

She didn't give a reason
She just told me
We were through
So my friend, how can I answer your question
When I don't know anymore than you do?

Don't ask me
Ask Marie
She's the one
Who wanted to be free
