(Marie's the Name of) His Latest Flame
(words & music by Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)
A very old friend came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone in town
About the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry
He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
We recommend: Vampirella

Lately when you love me it seems so cut and dried
And baby I get lonely when I'm laying' by your side
If you need a fantasy to keep you satisfied
Hold me like I'm someone else that you ain't never tried
Hold me like you never had me
Say you're still in love with me, make me feel brand new
Hold me like you never had me
Say you're still in love with me, like you used to do
Bodies grow familiar, no surprises anymore
Like an old late movie show you've seen it all before
It's a classic story the good ones never die
You just hav
