This song came to me when I was riding around with my young daughter, Angela Marie. So I would sing to her in the back seat, “A. Marie” which was the kernel for this tune that Ken and I wrote together.

Ken Wiles

Hey, Marie
(Wiles-Orton)

Hey, Marie, I think I love you.
Hey, Marie, don’t walk away.
Hey, Marie, are you still angry?
Hey, Marie, why can’t you see?
That all the other boys are just trying to get a message through,
I can’t believe it’s over, so whatcha gonna do about it?

Hey, Marie, who are you fooling?
What’s this thing you know?
You seem to have all the answers,
Telling lies I can’t ignore.

Chorus:
Hey, Marie – Hey, Marie, What you trying to prove?
That all the other boys are just trying to get a message through.
I can’t believe it’s over, I won’t believe it’s over.

Verse Solo

Hey, Marie, I think I love you.
Hey, Marie, don’t walk away.
Hey, Marie, are you still angry?
Hey, Marie, why can’t you see?

Repeat Chorus:

Fade out on verse solo…
