Marie
Left Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You made me feel I was supposed to be
Oh, Marie, just because you carry
Doesn't mean that I'm gonna settle down and marry
Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Marie
Good times and memories
You do as you please
Cause I don't think that I'ma be there to do it
Oh, Marie, you have a wonderful fantasy
You made a find of me, but I'm not the man you need
Oh, Marie, you'll take it away from me
It's something I wanted to be, but not when I'm twenty-three
This ain't how I planned it to be
We had a deal but you disagreed
This ain't how I planned it to be
We had a deal but you disagreed
Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Marie
Good times and memories
You do as you please
Better take good care of our kid
Cause I don't think that I'ma be there to do it

The singer, addressing his former lover Marie, expresses regret for the way things have turned out between them.

Marie is portrayed as someone who has a wonderful fantasy and who made a find of the singer, but he knows that he is not the man she truly needs.
The overall tone of the song is one of resignation, with the singer acknowledging that things did not turn out as he planned.

He had a deal with Marie, but they ultimately disagreed, and the relationship fell apart.
In summary, "Marie" is a bittersweet reflection on a failed relationship and the complex emotions that come with it. The song is characterized by a sense of regret and a longing for what could have been if things had gone differently.
