Marianne, you're better than the world
They took a lot of time getting it right on this girl
I said, "Marianne you're better than the world"
They did a lot of things right on this girl
I had a lot of girlfriends I should have known them
Click your heals and count back from three
And do you want to go back
You should have known that
The butterfly in reverse here is me
Marianne, you're better than the world
They took a lot of time getting it right on this girl
I said, "Marianne you're better than the world"
They did a lot of things right on this girl

So where'd you want to go to
With nothing beside you
But webbing and curfews and rain
And everything that hurts you
Is locked up inside you
Like butterfly's with wings
Or other perfect things
Swimming in the sunshine
Dangling from clotheslines
Separate and fall into me
Did you ever see me
Me absolutely
Me but all you but still me

Marianne, you're better than the world
They took a lot of time getting it right on this girl
I said, "Marianne you're better than the world"
They did a lot of things right on this girl
They did a lot of things right on this girl
