Mariella

I'm heavy handed

To say the least

My mother thinks I'll be an awful clutcher

'Cause I spill things from stirring 'em too quickly

I'm far too loud

It's like, as soon as I've got an opinion

It just has to come out

I laugh at stupid things

Just 'cause they tickle me

And

Sometimes I wish

Sometimes I wish I was like Mariella

She got some Pritt Stick, and she glued her lips together

So she never had to speak

Never had to speak

Never had to speak

People used to say she's quiet as a mouse

She just doesn't make a peep

She marched to her wardrobe

And threw away to her color

Because wearing black looks mysterious

But it didn't impress her mother

She wanted to dress her baby

In patterns and flowers

But Mariella just crossed her arms

And so she cried for hours

Mariella

Mariella

My pretty, baby girl

Unglue your lips from being together and

And wear some pink and pearls

You can have your friends 'round

And they can stay for tea

Won't you just try to fit in, please

Do this for me

But Mariella just crossed her arms

And she walked up the stairs

And she went into her bedroom

And she sat on her bed

And she looked in the mirror

And she though to herself

If I wanna play, I can play with me

If I wanna think, I'll think in my head

At school, Mariella didn't have many friends, yeah

The girls they all looked at her

And they thought she was quite strange

And the boys, they're not really into girls at that age

And the teachers, they thought Mariella was just

Going through a phase

But Mariella just smiled

As skipped down the road

Because she knew

All the secrets in her world

Yes, she always got the crossword puzzles right every day

And she could do alphabet backwards

Without making any mistakes

Mariella

Mariella

Pretty, pretty girl

Mariella

Mariella

Happy in your own little world

Happy in your own little world

And she said

Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever, ever

Ever, ever, ever, ever

Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever, ever

Ever, ever, ever, ever

Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever, ever

Ever, ever, ever, ever

Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

Gonna unglue my lips

From being together

She said, I'm never, ever, ever, ever, ever

Ever, ever, ever, ever

Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever, ever

Ever, ever, ever, ever

Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

Gonna unglue my lips

From being together

Ha, ha, ha, ha
