Here I am, on my knees again
I'd do anything, just to make it right
Say you'll understand, oh, I know you can
C'mon Marianne (C'mon Marianne)

No matter what people say, it didn't happen that way
She was a passing fling, and not a permanent thing
So I hang my head, oh, I wish that I was dead
Come on Marianne (Marianne, Marianne, Marianne)
Come on (Marianne, Marianne)
Say you can understand, my Marianne

Well now your big brown eyes, are all full of tears
From the bitterness, of my cheating years
So I hang my head I wishing I was dead
C'mon Marianne, c'mon Marianne, c'mon Marianne

Think you've 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 come running back
Baby you don't know me 'cause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone?
What does not kill you makes a fighter, footsteps even lighter?
Doesn't mean it's over cause you're gone?

Here I am, on my knees again
I'd do anything, just to make it right
Say you'll understand, oh, I know you can
C'mon Marianne (Didn't think that I'd come back, I come back swinging)

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone?
What does not kill you makes a fighter? Footsteps even lighter!
Doesn't mean it's 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 goodbye!
Bye, bye!?
