  1.Oh  Marlene  How we fell  What we've done now we never  can tell
   Bottle of wine  Then another  Suddenly we fell into  each other
  __________

  Don't  stand so close to the window Somebo-dy  out there might see
  ___________________________________________________________________________________

  see  and you're  not supposed  to be  here with me
  __________________________ __________
 |3. ||4.
  see  and you're  not supposed  to be  here with me  the
  walls  have ears  and the darkness  has eyes don't you see?
 
 2.Then the word on the wire
  Would be just like Ash Wednesday bush fire
  Kiss me quick, kiss me warm
  Put your dress on and hurry back home
  Don't stand so close to the window
  Somebody out there might see
  And you're not supposed to be here with me
 3.Instrumental
 4.There's a way, there's a track
  One false move and there's no turning back
  Turn the page, close the book
  Walk out the door now with never a look
  And don't stand so close to the window
  Somebody out there might see
  And you're not supposed to be here with me
  The walls have ears and the darkness has eyes don't you see?
