I'm heavy handed, to say the least.
My mother thinks I'll be an awful clutcher 'cus I spill things from stiring them 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 cus they tickle me.
And sometimes, sometimes, I wish I was like Mariella,
she got some pritt stick and glued her lips together.
So she never had to speak, never had to speak, never had to speak.
People used to say shes as quiet as a mouse, she just doesn't make a peep.
She marched to her wardrobe and 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 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 and 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 there, they looked at her and thought she was quite strange.
Boys aren't really into girls at that age.
And the teachers, they thought Mariella was just going through a phase.
But Mariella just smiled as 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.
Mariella.
Mariella.
Happy in her own little world
Happy in her own little world
And she says "I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever, yeah, I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever, yeah, I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever gunna unglue my lips from being together."
She said "I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever, yeah, I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever, yeah, I'm never ever ever ever ever ever ever evereverevereverevereverevereverevergunna unglue my lips from being together."

I don't get why no one's mentioned this. Mariella's simply an introvert!
She's content in being alone. "If I wanna play, I can play with me, If I wanna think, I'll think in my head."
Because she's so quiet, she's observant and smarter than the others. "But Mariella just smiled as 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 is just an introverted girl, content in being different and alone. Not antisocial. And I don't think this song portrays her in a negative way either ("And sometimes, sometimes, I wish I was like Mariella").
People seem to think that people who enjoy solitude are antisocial or autistic. :/
I'm an introvert- so, I know what it's like to WANT to be alone rather often and struggling with this in a primarily extroverted world.
am i the only one that thinks kate nash & lily allen sound a lot alike?
this song is about a girl (Mariella) who glues her lips together. I think she's the youngest in her class, maybe she has skipped a class or to, 'cause she too good for her own class-step.. she's wearing black clothes, 'cause it looks mysterius, but her mother want her to wearing pink and pearls. Mariella is don't care with it. I think it's intentional that she behaves in that way, 'cause she want to be a little different compared to other.. She want to stand out, if you understand ;D
