How did I ever get into this mess

I fell in the river and I wrecked my dress

I wanted to look good because he's coming tonight

And he's bringing me things that I like

But I don't want you to think

That you're buying my love

With these things

The last place you wrote from was Constantinople

And we'll meet you at the warehouse

Down by the docks tonight

But I don't want you to think

That you're buying my love

With these frivolous things

But I'm dying for dresses

And I've run out of perfume

And I'm pining for a wine

That is halfway decent

Please don't think I'm forward but I made a reservation

At our favorite restaurant tonight for two

And if you need a place to stay

I mean if all the hotels are full

Well my room-mate is gone for the weekend

But I don't want you to think

That you're buying my love

With these frivolous things

But I'm dying for dresses

And I've run out of perfume

And I'm pining for a wine

That is halfway decent

Marco Polo is coming tonight

And he's bringing me things that I like

Things that I like

Things that I really really like
