Whoa, here I am 
On my knees again 
I'll do anything 
Just to make it right 
Say you'll understand 
Yes, I know you can 
C'mon, Marianne.

No matter what people say 
It didn't happen that way
She was a passing swing
And not a permanent thing 
Say you'll understand
Yes, I know you can.

C'mon - Marianne, 
C'mon - Marianne, 
C'mon - Marianne, 
Say you can understand
My Marianne...

Well, now your big brown eyes 
Are all full of tears 
From the bitterness
Of my cheatin' years 
So I hang my head 
I wish that I was dead 

C'mon - Marianne, 
C'mon - Marianne,
C'mon - Marianne...

You think you got the best of me
Think you had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd [bad word] back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're devil

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fire
Put that thing on ligher
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

 here I am 
On my knees again 
I'll do anything 
Just to make it right 
Say you'll understand 
Yes, I know you can 
C'mon, Marianne.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fire
Put that thing on ligher
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Well now it's time to say "good-bye"
Bye-bye!
