Lyrics Paul Simon – Oh, Marion
Text:
The boy’s got brains
He just don’t use ’em that’s all
The boy’s got brains
He just refuse to use ’em and that’s all
He said «The more I got to thinkin
The less I tend to laugh»
The boy’s got brains
He just abstains
The less I tend to laugh»
The boy’s got brains
He just abstains
The boy’s got a heart
But it beats on the opposite side
It’s a strange phenomenon
The laws of nature defied
He said «Its a chance I had to take
So I shifted my heart for its safety sake»
The boy’s got a heart but it beats on
His opposite side
Oh, Marion,
I think I’m in trouble here
I should have believed you
When I heard you saying it
The only time
That love is an easy game
Is when two other people
Are playing it
The boy’s got a voice
But the voice is his natural disguise
Yes the boy’s got a voice
But his words don’t connect to his eyes
He says «Oh, but when I sing
I can hear the truth auditioning».
The boy’s got a voice
But the voice is natural
But the voice is natural
