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

I wish I knew what happened
I, I thought that everything between us was fine
But you know something must have gone wrong
'Cause now my Marie has changed her mind

But she didn't even give me a reason
She just told me we were through
So my friend how can I answer your question?
Well, I don't know anymore than you

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

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