Mariella
I'm heavy handed, to say the least.
My mother thinks I'll be an awful clutcher 'cus I spill things from stiring 'em too quickly.
I'm far too loud.
Its like, as soon as I've got an opinion, it just has to come out.
I laugh at stupid things just 'cause they tickle me.
And, sometimes I wish, sometimes I wish I was like Mariella
She got some pritt stick and she glued her lips together.
So she never had to speak, never had to speak, never had to speak.
People used to say she's as quiet as a mouse, she just doesn't make a peep.
She marched to her wardrobe and she threw away the colour
Because wearing black looks mysterious
But it didn't impress her mother.
She wanted to dress her baby in patterns and flowers
But Mariella just crossed her arms and so she cried for hours.
Mariella.
Mariella.
My pretty, baby girl
Unglue your lips from being together and, and wear some pink and pearls.
You can have your friends 'round and they can stay for tea.
Won't you just try to fit in please, do this for me.
But Mariella just crossed her arms as she walked up the stairs
And she went into her bedroom, and she sat on her bed.
And she looked in the mirror and she thought to herself
If I wanna play, I can play with me, If I wanna think, I'll think in my head.
At school, Mariella didn't have many friends, yeah
The girls they all looked at her and they thought she was quite strange.
And the boys they're not really into girls at that age.
And the teachers, they thought Mariella was just going through a phase.
But Mariella just smiled and she skipped down the road because she knew all the secrets in her world.
Yeah, she always got the crossword puzzle right every day
And she could do the alphabet backwards, without making any mistakes.
Mariella.
Mariella.
Pretty, pretty girl.

Happy in your own little world
Happy in your own little world
And she said yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
Yeah, I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
Yeah, I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever gonna unglue my lips from being together
She said I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever
Yeah, I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever gonna unglue my lips from being together
