(words & music by Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)
A very old friend came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone in town
About the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry
He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flameI got a hole in my head
I got a hole in my head
I'd be better off dead
I got a hole in my head
I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna fight
I'm a lover, lover, lover
You're always laughing at me
You're always laughing at me
Yeah, when nothing's really funny
You're always laughing at me
I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna fight
I'm a lover, lover, lover
I'm a lover, lover, lover
You got a pretty face
You got a pretty face
But it's such a waste
You got a pretty face
I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna fight
I'm a lover, lover, lover
I'm a lover, lover, lover
