Four Seasons, The - Marlena Lyrics
Marlena, Marlena
Marlena, don't go oh, no, wo, wo
'Cause I love you so, oh, oh
Never gonna let you go, wo, wo, wo
Can't you see that you can't win
Never gonna let you go
Shame, flirting with the guys on the corner
You're such a bad girl
Telling me your out with your mother
That's a lie but I still love my Marlena
Don't go oh no
'Cause I love you so
Shame, flirting with the guys on the corner
You're such a bad girl
Telling me your out with your mother
That's a lie but I still love my Marlena
C'mon girl won't you give in
Can't you see that you can't win
Never gonna let you go
Dup dup dupdee do
Dup dup dupdee do
Dup dup dupdee do
Marlena, dup, dup

Four Seasons, The Marlena Comments
Summer of '63, America's last minutes of innocence. 11/22 changed everything.---------------------------Wolfsky9, 73 y/o
So camp, but still sounds fantastic! Thanks for posting and for the description.
Love this song.. had to hear it.. your such a bad girl... ha ha..
OMG MY NAME IS THAT
Hello.Marlene in Hazel Park Mich. in 1963
I wonder if Frankie can hit falsetto these days.
What happened to this kind of music?
Awesome
I had a great time with you Miley Roberts
Listen to the harmony supporting Valli's brilliant vocals. This isn't music, it's magic.
When you hear Frankie... you don't mistake him for anyone else.
One of their best always overshadowed by their big hits. Frankie’s best falsetto
Fantastic group. Dozens of hits. America's Beatles.... Until 1964 when the real Beatles came over.
One of their very best
The chorus of this song is so joyous! It reminds me of my boyhood days in the Bronx, sitting on milk crates, in front of the grocery store, drumming and singing our hearts out. Today, we'd all get arrested, or worse.
Ahh Growing up in the BRONX......nothing better.
MDE never dies.
Personally my 4 Seasons favorite. Reminds of me of the Sugar Maples pool c. 1964-65
Always loved this song.
Me too!
Great to have my name be marlena sometimes lol
The best
Belissimo.
Double sided hit, in that Summer of '63. ----------I loved both !! ----------WolfSky9, 71 y/o
wonderful song, love it!!
1963-64: My first woman was from September, 1963 - February, 1964. Her name was Murl and I believe that is the correct spelling. Used to guess at her name: "What is it? Marlena?" "No, Murl". I'm sure it was not spelled a boy's name. She was "all lady", even though 15 then. Her parents were normal, good, red-blooded, patriotic Americans. We were getting pretty close but, one night she danced with another guy and I, being jealous and very immature, broke off contact. We saw each other one more time after that. It was not very long that I began missing her and missing her a lot. Was never able to get another date with her, even though I did not give up for at least a year and a half. Murl, I never told you that you are the most beautiful woman on this earth. I should have told you that night that you called me "Dearest" -- my sincere, deepest apologies.
Murl, where are you? Can't find you. Please look me up. You knew me by my birth name. Know that you remember the name. Never accomplished the great Capitalistic dream. Close doesn't count. But know that you would have motivated, coaxed, coached me and I would have made millions and bought you huge houses, comfy cars, fur coats, gold and so on. I still remember what you told me so able to tell a fraud. I want to see you again now even though knowing we will see each other forever in that most beautiful, real, physical Place. Hope you are in the best of health....
SWEET MEMORIES
a la butane Marlena!!
I forgot to mentions he's still performing .
For Sure....This is a classic frozen in time !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone who happened to spend a some summer time at the Sugar Maples resort in the Catskill Mountains of upstate NY in 1964-65 will recall this song being endlessly played on the rumpus room juke box.
I don't even remember what the A side was
Dion1957, you ever hear "Candy Girl?" That's the A side of this outstanding twin spin!
"Candy Girl"
Dion1957 That's funny, either did I. Didn't think there was any Four Seasons song better than Marlena.
Dion1957 beggin. a side
One of their BEST!
AHA---this seems to be the 4 Seasons record that Billy Joel's Uptown Girl was meant to pay tribute to!
Jerry Jaye Wow! What a great connection you made. Uptown Girl even sounds like Marlena, musically speaking. Good call.
I used to think this song title was Don't Let go!!! That's why I could NEVER find it until LAST WEEK 7/15/17 My cousin played it on a road trip.... I was to TEARS !!!! LOVE it MORE than the "A" side Candy Girl!!!... Candy Girl's name is Marlena!!!
I think Bob Gaudio wrote a lot of their songs
This song is my mom and dad songs after 55 years
My favorite song of theirs ❤️
I love Marlena, but I adore "Candy Girl" as a better song. Candy Girl is every boy's dream. Even if Marlena is a 'bad girl'. Funny, when I hear the song, it still sounds like they are singing, "You're such a fat girl!" I thought those were the words for decades until I found out otherwise.

Candy Girl in stereo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6cBU2gzs0I
Frankie Valli is so great 😊 Love this song.
i like it
Valli knew he was going to be successful, he just didn't know how. Gaudio. He could write it, Frankie could sing it, a match made in heaven. I adore Frankie Valli talk about being blessed with talent. Gaudio too.
Tonithenightowl don't forget Nick's bass vocals and Tommy's guitar
Tommy sang baritone too to fill in the harmonies
Their best IMO.
Never can replace the originals
I just went searching because of this comment, found songs by CHRIS ROBERTS and BOBBY GOLDSBORO and they both were trash compared to the Four Seasons, did I miss something?
can anyone tell me about the Seasons drummer loved the man
i agree, he's really good
curious, living in Rhode Island in the early 60's Marlena was the A side and Candy Girl was the B side. It was also that way in the New Haven/Hartford market. Each side was rated differently although some stations charted them the same. Marlena consistently was the preferred side.
+jennifur sun Thanks. Just don't ask me what happened last week.
+Peter Key sadly Peter i hear you. i have to make jokes about my absenteee memory, expecially short term, because if i don't it SCARES me to death. most of my moms sibs died of Alzheimers. if i ever get that take me out and shoot me
I find your comment interesting. I live in Cranston, R.I. and I bought this 45 single in the early 70's about 7-10 yrs. after it was released, from Ladds Music Store in Garden City, Cranston. The man behind the counter had to do some research in his catalogs before he told me I'd have to order "Candy Girl" in order to get this song because it was the "B" side.
mark rechter they were both A to me!!
mark rechter man! I didn't know they were on the same 45!!!!?? I'd say Candy Girl is a tad better
Wow I love all the songs after my name. Especially since not very many people have this name, lol
My daughter does!
I know a few. I bet it's more popular in other countries.
one of the greatest flip sides of all time
I think that if it had been released as an A-side, it would have been a bigger hit.
@catman916 this was the A side in Southern New England.
Yep the flipside to Candy girl I have the 45 RPM kind of worn out but that's cool
In Philadelphia and South Jersey this was huge--I mean as big as Sherry. GREAT SONG!!!
Having lived in Philadelphia for 4 years, I can say that the people there knew how to pick music.
Hit 36? Didn't know that...one of my fave Seasons sides...never saw a Vee Jay label scan...that's an added treat...the fade on this one is every bit as cool as "Dawn"
@catman916 Never connected the two...though "Uptown Girl" is honestly one of the few Billy Joel songs I can even stand (and it's impossible not to hear the Four Seasons influence on that one)
@thecountofbasie "Walk Like a Man" certainly was an influence also.
@thecountofbasie yup-thought it was Frankie valli
@thecountofbasie still have my old ones
@catman916 interesting i can hear it now that you mention it
Nagyon tetszett.
