A broken heart, some broken dreams
Some empty hours in between
A lonely soul, inside a hole
Just trying to stay cool

And this he swears, and this he says
“I gave my love to Marites
Oh, this is wise. Yes, this is best
All my love’s spent on Marites”
And did you know, she loves him so
So there’s no need to take it slow

So, now it’s safe to play outside
Children seek and hide
The world is calm inside his mind
For he has hidden himself deep inside

And this he swears, and this he says
“I gave my love to Marites
Oh, this is wise. Yes, this is best
All my love’s spent on Marites”
And did you know, she loves him so
So there’s no need to take it slow
