Marbles Songtext
von Swear and Shake

Love can make you lose my marbles

We were on the up and up, the front door painted red
And we collected marbles in the jar under the bed
And we played our 45′s, my mom warmed up to you
But we were young and shooting marbles
Well soon enough the times got tough and we were making sand
And each and every shiny pearl kept rolling out of hand
Well the times were getting tough, but we were getting tougher
And if I have you, then who needs marbles?

You love me
Oh, you love me


I swear I'll bring home thirty more and be your better man
I′ll clean up good and sell the show and hold onto my band
Well I bought you the new suit, and I figured wool would last
You dirtied it while shooting marbles
I bought us a piano so our kids would grow up smart
And dig up all the songs we wrote back when we had the heart
But the ivory will chip, the strings will surely rust
Your kids won't know the difference from the lyrics in the books

You love me
In ways nothing else can
You love me

Stay, even when the last one goes
Oh, you stay, lover when the marbles throw
Stay, stay, stay
Oh you stay, even when the last one goes
'Cause that′s real love, picking up your marbles, Rose
I will stay, stay, stay

Oh lover, I believe you, but you got the upper hand
Your push and pull can break my heart just because you can
Real love, even when the marbles throw

You love me
