words and music by Kent Newsome and Rick Paul

What are you doing here, Marveen
Oh, Marveen
The reddest hair and the greenest eyes I’ve ever seen
How can you say you love me
When you treat me so mean
Oh tell me
What are you doing here, Marveen

I probably should have known the first time I saw you
But stayin’ out of trouble ain’t my strongest suit
Then one day you were gone
I guess you moved away
I heard somebody say you moved out to L.A.

So what are you doing here, Marveen
Oh, Marveen
The reddest hair and the greenest eyes I’ve ever seen
How can you say you love me
When you treat me so mean
Oh tell me
What are you doing here, Marveen

Just when I finally got my feet on the ground
You started showing up in every bar in town
You took me for a ride
Just like some hard luck rodeo
Not even the best cowboy in Texas could ride a tornado

What are you doing here, Marveen
Oh, Marveen
The reddest hair and the greenest eyes I’ve ever seen
How can you say you love me
When you treat me so mean
Oh tell me
What are you doing here
What are you doing here
What are you doing here, Marveen
