Marialena's Song

It’s good enough to get me what I want
Good enough to get me where I need to go
But pray you aren’t the one to see what happens
What happens in the case that you say no

If I said please, please, please
One word to bring you to your knees
One word to give me what I need
If you were only listening

When I say please, please, please
Now if you’d kindly take your leave
Then I can finally swipe these things
While you have turned your back to me

I’m looking for a piece that can’t be taken
A piece that must be given from a willing heart
Then I can continue sneaking past you
To snatch up your belongings in the dark

If I say please, please, please
One word to bring you to your knees
One word to give me what I need
If you were only listening

When I say please, please, please
Now if you’d kindly take your leave
Then I can finally swipe these things
While you have turned your back to me

I am invisible, until someone catches me
If my alarm sets off alarms, then you can bet they’ll come round me

When I’m invisible, I can do just as I please
I can find just anything, if you would only take the lead

When I say please, please, please
One word to bring you to your knees
One word to give me what I need
If you were only listening

When I say please, please, please
Now if you’d kindly take your leave
Then I can finally swipe these things
While you have turned your back to me
