Lyrics
Oh, Marcello
How I wonder
The Madonna she tell the truth, no?
She's been saying "I'll have a baby"
"When he grow up he become a killer"
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understood
Oh, Marcello
Never thought I'd really love you but I do so
My headwaiter's head on your platter
Just say the word and
Salome can kiss my gutters
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understood
Understood, ooh
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understood
Understood
Oh, Marcello
How I wonder
The Madonna when she speak, she tell the truth, no?
She's been saying "I'll have a baby"
"When he grow up he'll become a killer and kill everybody"
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Understood
Understood
Oh, Marcello!
Oh, Marcello!
