Mariella

She just doesn't make a peep

'Cause I spill things from stirring 'em too quickly
In patterns and flowers
And she said, "Yeah, I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever
Never had to speak, never had to speak
It's like as soon as I've got an opinion
The girls, they all looked at her
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
They're not really into girls at that age

Mariella, Mariella

And she could do the alphabet backwards
People used to say she's as quiet as a mouse
And the teachers, they thought
Unglue your lips from being together
Without making any mistakes
All the secrets in her world
At school
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
Mariella, Mariella, my pretty baby girl
And she sat on her bed
It just has to come out
Happy in her own little world
And, and wear some pink and pearls
And she thought to herself
She got some Pritt stick
And the boys
She wanted to dress her baby
Gonna unglue my lips from being together"
Happy in her own little world
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
And she looked in the mirror
Do this for me
Aas she skipped down the road
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

I'm far too loud
And she went into her bedroom
Yeah, I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever
She said, "I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

"If I wanna play, I can play with me

And they thought she was quite strange
Yeah, I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever
Yes, she always got
But Mariella just crossed her arms
Because she knew
Aand glued her lips together
I laugh at stupid things just 'cause they tickle me
She marched to her wardrobe
And she threw away the color
Mariella, Mariella, you pretty, pretty girl
The crossword puzzles right every day
If I wanna think, I'll think in my head"
Sometimes I wish I was like Mariella

Won't you just try to fit in please?
But Mariella just crossed her arms

And so she cried for hours
Because wearing black looks mysterious
And sometimes
But Mariella just smiled
And they can stay for tea
You can have your friends 'round
So, she never had to speak
Yeah, I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever

Mariella was just going through a phase
Mariella didn't have many friends, yeah

Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

And she walked up the stairs

But it didn't impress her mother
