She has a way that gets under your skin
She has these eyes that make you wanna let her in
And you end up finding more about yourself that you ever knew
And you scare yourself as the words pour out like honey
Out like honey
Sweet Marie
She always has you where she wants you to be
Oh, sweet Marie
She always keeps you, till you can't bear to be free
Till you can't bear to be free
She'll give you all she's got, till she's all that you are
She'll love you till you're mad and you've lost all you've ever had
Your troubles sleep in a cradle build of her soft singing voice
And when she stops you know you've lost yourself
And you've never even had a choice
No, you've never even had a choice
Sweet Marie
She always has you where she wants you to be
Oh, sweet Marie
She always keeps you, till you can't bear to be free
Till you can't bear to be free
Sweet Marie
Sweet Marie
Sweet Marie
Sweet Marie
Sweet Marie
