I think this song is about herself. Marie is the person she wants to be; all dressed up, looking cute, always perfect, has lots of guys and friends, and is well-known. But even though she always has people around her, she is still so lonely and she doesn't understand why and she's asking herself questions. "She says she's lonely, how could she be? every night she's got company" So she's trying to live her life as this "Marie" her alter-ego but she's still unhappy "Oh Marie, I sure hope you're happy, oh Marie, what about me?"
everyone thinks she has a great life and she tells herself she does too- but she's still lonely and isn't quite sure what she is looking for.
