Love, you make me lose my marbles We were on the up and up The front door painted red We collected marbles in a jar under the bed We played our forty-fives My mom warmed up to you We were young and shooting marbles Well, soon enough the times go tough, and we weren't making sand Each and every shiny pearl kept rolling out of hand So the times were getting tough, but we were getting tougher And if I have you, then who needs marbles? You move me Oh, you move 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 Oh, the ivory will chip The strings will surely rust Your kids will know the difference from the lyrics in the dust You'll love me in ways nothing else me You'll love me Stay even when the last one goes Will you stay around for when the marbles roll? Stay, stay, stay, will you stay even when the last one goes? Cause that's real love Picking up your marbles rolled I will stay, stay, stay Lover I believe you, but you've got the upper hand You push and pull and break my heart just because you can Real love, even when the marbles roll You'll love me
