Norma Jeane Mortensen Baker (June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962), professionally recognized as Marilyn Monroe, was an American actress, model, and singer, who became a major sex symbol, starring in a number of commercially successful motion pictures during the 1950s and early 1960s.
After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946 with Twentieth Century-Fox. Her early film appearances were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) drew attention to her. By 1953, Monroe had progressed to a leading role in Niagara (1953), a melodramatic film noir that dwelt on her seductiveness. Her "dumb blonde" persona was used to comic effect in subsequent films such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and The Seven Year Itch (1955). Limited by typecasting, Monroe studied at the Actors Studio to broaden her range. Her dramatic performance in Bus Stop (1956) was hailed by critics and garnered a Golden Globe nomination. Her production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, released The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), for which she received a BAFTA Award nomination and won a David di Donatello award. She received a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like It Hot (1959). Monroe's last completed film was The Misfits, co-starring Clark Gable with screenplay by her then-husband, Arthur Miller.
verse1:
dear monroe i didnt know but you infatuation

you were the reason they created twinkle twinkle litte star
because your money sat higher than the hollywood sign

Feel so impatient
Sometimes I feel like Marilyn Monroe
I'm insecure yeah I make mistakes
Sometimes I feel like I'm at the end of a road
I can get low I can get low
Don't know which way is up
Yeah I can get high, I can get high
Like I could never come down
Call it a curse
Or just call me blessed
If you can't handle my worst
You ain't getting my best
Is this how Marilyn Monroe felt felt felt felt
Must be how Marilyn Monroe felt felt felt felt
Its like all the good things
They fall apart like…
like Marilyn Monroe
Truth is we mess up
Till we get it right
I dont want to end up losing my soul
I can get low, I can get low
Don't know which way is up
Yea I can get high, I can get high
Like I could never come down
Call it a curse
Or just call me blessed
If you can't handle my worst

Must be how Marilyn Monroe felt felt felt felt
Take me or leave me
I'll never be perfect

So take me or leave me
So take me or leave me
Call it a curse
Or just call me blessed
If you can't handle my worst
You ain't getting my best
Is this how Marilyn Monroe felt felt felt felt
Must be how Marilyn Monroe felt felt felt felt

Stars shining bright above you,
night breezes seem to whisper I love you,
birds singing in a sycamore tree.
Dream a little dream of me.
say nightie night and kiss me, just hold me tight and tell me, you miss me;
while`I'm alone and blue as can be, dram a little dream of me
Chorus: stars fading, but I linger on, dear,
still craving your kiss;
I'm longing to linger till dawn,dear, just saying this,
sweet dreams till sunbeams find you, sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you,
but in your dreams whatever they be, dream a little dream of me
Chorus
A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, I'll take Jello
You're calmer than the seals in the Arctic Ocean
At least they flap their fins to express emotion
A fine romance, with no quarrels
With no insults and all morals
I've never mussed a crease in your blue serge pants
I never get the chance, this, is a fine romance!
A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend, this is
To love should have the thrills that a healthy crime has
We dont have half the thrills that the march of time has
A fine romance, with no clinches
A fine romances, with no pinches
You're just as hard to land as the Ile de France!
I haven't got a chance, My hearts not made of plastic,
Youre the reason Im sarcastic!
When love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
The one thing I know
When love goes wrong, a man takes flight
And women get a petty hope.
The sun don't beam,
The sun don't shine,
The tide don't even flow.
A clock won't strike,
A match won't light,
When love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
The blues all gather 'round you
and day is dark as night.
A man is fit to live with
and a woman's a sorry sight.
A woman's a fright, a terrible sight
A man goes out, gets high as a kite,
Love is something you just can't fight
You can't fight it, honey you can't fight it
When love goes wrong, nothing.
No bars, honey just stand by and hold
Nothing goes right.
It's like we said
You're better off dead
When love has lost it's glow.
So take this down in black and white,
When love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
Running wild
Lost control
Running wild
Mighty bold
Feeling gay, reckless too
Carefree mind all the time, never blue
Always going
Don't know where
Always showing I don't care
Don't love nobody
It's not worthwhile
All alone
Running wild
If you listen, you can hear it call, Wailaree! (Wailaree!)
There is a river called the River of No Return
Sometimes it's peaceful, and sometimes wild and free.
Love is a traveler on the River of No Return.
Swept on forever to be lost in the stormy sea. (Wailaree!)
I can hear the river call, No return, no return, No return, no return. (Wailaree!)
I can hear my lover call, "Come to me." (No return, no return)
I lost my love on the river and forever my heart will yearn.
Gone, gone forever down the River of No Return. Wailaree! (Wailaree!) Wailaree!
You never return to me. (No return, no return)
One silver dollar
Bright silver dollar
Changing hands
Changing hands
Endlessly rollin'
Wasted and stolen
Changing hands
Changing hands
Spent for a beer he's drinkin'
Won by a gamblers lust
Pierced by an outlaw's bullet
And lost in the blood red dust
One silver dollar
Worn silver dollar
Changing hands
Changing hands
Love is a shining dollar
Bright as a church bell's chime
Gambled and spent and wasted
And lost in a dawn of time
Ooh-ooh..., Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh..., Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
One silver dollar
Worn silver dollar
Changing hearts
Changing lives
The French were bred to die for love
they delight in fighting duels
but I prefer a man who lives
and gives expensive jewels.
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
but diamonds are a girl's best friend.
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
on your humble flat, or help you at the automat.
Men grow cold as girls grow old
and we all lose our charms in the end.
But square-cut or pear-shaped
these rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
...Tiffany's ... Cartier...
Talk to me, Harry, Winston,tell me all about it!
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
but diamonds are a girl's best friend.
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
thinks you're awful nice
but get that ice or else no dice.
He's your guy when stocks are high
but beware when they start to descend,
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic
but diamonds are a girl's best friend,
and I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic
are better bets if little pets get big baggettes.
Time rolls on and youth is gone
and you can't straighten up when you bend
but stiff back or stiff knees
you stand straight at Tiffany's
Diamonds... Diamonds...
- I don't mean rhinestones -
but Diamonds, Are A Girl's Best Friends
Oh... Do it again
I may say no, no, no
But do it again
My lips just ache
To have you take
The kiss that's waiting for you
You know if you do
you won't regret it
Come and get it
Oh... no one is near
I may cry oh, oh, oh
But no one will hear
My Mommy scolds me
Cause she's told me
it is naughty, but then ...
Oh, do it again
I'll be in my room alone
Every post meridian
And I'll read my diary
And that book by Mister Gideon
Bye, bye, baby
Remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye,
And just to show that I care
I will write and declare
That I'm on the loose
But I'm still on the square
I've been lonely
But even though I'm lonely
There'll be no other guy
Though I'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby by and by
With my baby by and by
I'll be gloomy
But send that rainbow to me
Then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone fo a while
I know that I'll be smiling
I wanna be loved by you, just you you
and nobody else but you
i wanna be loved by you, alone
Boop-Boop-Bee-Do
I wanna be kissed by you, just you
Nobody else but you
i wanna be kissed by you alone
I couldn't aspire
to anything higher
Than, to fell the desire
to make you my own
I wanna be loved by you just you
And nobody else but you
i wanna be loved by you alone
I couldn't aspire
to anything higher
Than, to fell the desire
to make you my own
Ba Dum-Ba Dum-Ba-Diddle-Dum-Poo
I wanna be loved by you,
and nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you
Ba-Diddle-Diddle-Diddle-Dum
If I know just what to say when some trouble heads his
and can make him feel that everything is good,
then I act like a woman and he likes a woman
to act like a woman should.
If he's late and I'm alone and he doesn't telephone
Running wild, lost control.
Running wild, mighty bold.
Feeling gay, reckless too,
carefree mind all the time, never blue.
Always going, don't know where,
always showing..I don't care!
Don't love nobody, it's not worthwhile.
My name is Lolita
And I'm not supposed to, play with boys
What?
[Foreign Content]
While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
'Cause my heart belongs to Daddy
If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine food and haddie
I just adore, his asking for more
But, my heart belongs to Daddy
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, dad
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know that you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
'Cause my Daddy, he treats it so
While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
Shoo do ga do, shoo do ga do, ooo, Daddy
If I invite a boy some night
To cook up a fine enchilada
Though Spanish rice is all very nice
Ba da, ba da, ba da, ba da, ba da, da da
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to my Daddy
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, dad
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know that you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
'Cause Daddy, my Daddy
My little ol' Daddy treats it so
It was cold outside of Tiffanys
I was shivering in the storm
I walked in and asked a gentleman
Could I plea-ease keep warm
He asked me how come a baby doll
Has no comfy place to go
So I told that kindly gentleman
My tale of woe
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy
To keep her worry free
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy
But where's the one for me
Rich or poor I don't care who
If he hasn't got a million then a half will do
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy
Could my da-daddy be you
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy
With silver in his hair
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy
Who has some gold to spare
Some sweet softy who enjoys
Bringin' home his baby little diamond toys, oh ho!
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy
Could my da-daddy be you
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy
In case she runs aground
Every baby needs a da-da-daddy
To keep her safe and sound
Yes we feel just like Red Ridin' Hood
Cause the wolves are awful hungry in our neighbourhood
Oh every baby needs a da-da-daddy
Could my da-daddy be you
That old black magic has me in its spell,
that old black magic that you weave so well.
Those icy fingers up and down my spine,
the same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine,
the same old tingle that I feel inside,
and then that elevator starts its ride,
and, baby, down and down I go,
round and round I go,
like a leaf that's caught in a tide.
I shoud stay away but what can I do?
A hear your name and I'm a flame,
a flame with such a burning desire,
that only your kiss can put out the fire,
for you're the lover that I have waited for,
the mate that Fate had me created for.
And every time your lips meet mine, darling,
down and down I go,
round and round I go,
In a spin, loving the spin I'm in,
I got a fever
An inflammation
That's what I got
You turn the heat on me
Some like it hot
Look what you started
A conflagration
Baby, that's what
Don't let the flame go out
Some like it hot
Oh baby, I'm from that old school
I'll play it real cool
But when you kissed me
I lit up
like a four alarm fire
Call out the engine
Ring up the station
I'm on the spot
Love burns you up the most
Like it or not
There is a river called 'The river of no return'
Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free
Love is a traveler on 'The river of no return'
Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea
Wail-a-ree I can hear the river call no return, no return
Where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree
I can hear my lover call come to me, no return, no return
I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn
Gone gone for ever down 'The river of no return'
Wail-a-ree, wail-a-re-e-ee, [unverified] never return to me
I'm susceptible to stars in the skies,
I'm incurably romantic,
if they're told to me all covered with sighs,
the wildest of lies seems true.
Each time a lovebird sings,
I have no defenses,
my heart is off on wings
along with my senses.
I'm a set-up for the moon when it's bright,
I'm incurably romantic.
And I shouldn't be allowed out at night,
with anyone quite like you.
But, oh! Your arms are nice,
and it would be awfully nice
if you turned out to be starry-eyed like me,
I'm through with love
I'll never fall again
Said adieu to love
Don't ever call again
For I must love you or no one
And so I'm through with love
I've locked my heart
I'll keep my feelings there
I've stocked my heart
with icy,frigid air
And I mean to care for no one
Because I'm through with love
Why did you lead me
To think you could care?
You didn't need me
For you had your share
of slaves around you
To hound you and swear
with deep emotion and devotion to you
Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the thing that used to be
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love
I'm through with love
i found a dream
i'll be with you the whole night
through i'm yours no matter what
they say or do i love you just like you love me
thats the way love is
i'd want everything to lose than
We're havin a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The temperatures rising, it isn't suprising
She certainly can, can can!
She started a heatwave
By letting her seat wave,
in such a way that the customers say
that she certainly can, can-can!
Gee, Gee!
Her anatomy
Makes the mercury
Rise!
to ninety three
We're havin' a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves

We're just two little girls from Little Rock.
We lived on the wrong side of the tracks.
But the gentlemen friends who used to call,
they never did seem to mind at all.
They came to the wrong side of the tracks.
Then someone broke my heart in Little Rock,
so I up and left the pieces there.
Like a little lost lamb I roamed about,
I came to New York and I found out
that men are the same way everywhere.
I was young and determined to be wined and dined and
ermined
and I worked at it all around the clock.
Now one of these days in my fancy clothes,
I'm a going back home and punch the nose
of the one who broke my heart (the one who broke my
heart)
The one who broke my heart in Little Rock, Little Rock,
Little Rock...Little Rock
I'm just a little girl from Little Rock,
a horse used to be my closest pal.
Though I never did learn to read or write,
I learned about love in the pale moonlight
and now I'm an educated gal.
I learned an awful lot in Little Rock,
and here's some advice I'd like to share:
find a gentleman who is shy or bold,
or short or tall, or young or old..
as long as the guy's a millionaire!
For a kid from the small street I did very well on Wall
Street,
though I never owned a share of stock.
And now that I'm known in the biggest banks,
I'm going back home and give my thanks
to the one who broke my heart (the one who broke my
heart)
He's not so good in a crowd but when you get him alone,
you'd be surprised.
He isn't much at a dance but then when he takes you home,
you'd be surprised.
He doesn't look like much of a lover,
don't judge a book by its cover,
'cause he's got the face of an angel but
there's a devil in his eye!
He's such a delicate thing but when he's starting to
squeeze,
you'd be surprised.
He doesn't look very strong but when you sit on his knee,
you'd be surprised.
At a party or at a ball,
I've got to admit he's nothing at all,
but in a Morris chair, you'd be surprised.
He doesn't say very much but when he's starting to speak,
you'd be surprised.
He's not so good at the start but at the end of the week,
you'd be surprised.
On a streetcar or in a train,
you'd think he was born without any brains.
But in a taxi cab, and when he starts to grab,
I say in a taxi cab, you'd be surprised.
When I fall in love,
It will be forever,
Or I'll never fall in love.
In a restless world,
Like this is,
Love is ended
Before it's begun.
And too many moonlight kisses,
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
When I give my heart,
It will be completely,
Or I'll never give my heart.
And the moment I can feel that,
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you.
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love...
wanna be loved by you, just you,
And nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you, alone!
Boop-boop-a-doop!
I wanna kissed by you, just you,
Nobody else but you,
I wanna be kissed by you, alone!
Boop-boop, I couldn't aspire,
To anything higher,
Than, filled with desire,
To make you my own!
Boop-boop-a-doop, boop-boop-a-doop!
I wanna be loved by you, just you,
And nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you, alone!
Aa-ah-um! Boop-boop-a-doop!
Daddle-at-dat-dat-dum, I couldn't aspire,
To anything higher,
Than, filled with desire,
To make you my own,
Bup-bum, butle-doodle-dum-bum!
I wanna be loved by you, just you,
Nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you, a-lup-a-dup-a-dup-a-dup!

Hello!
(here we go!)
No sorry,not tonight
(that was quick!).
Shhh! Yes?
(Jim?Jack?Jeffrey?)
No,it's just that I'm languid.
(Well,how do you do?It's nice to know ya).
Physically I'm in pretty good shape
(brother,you could say that again!)
It's my attitude that's passive,
you know you're the only one I love
(that's all, he's hooked).
Bye now
(bye now)
Hello
(where are we again?)
No sorry,not tonight
(she's languid).
Shhh!Quiet!
(Bill,Bobby,Bruce?)
No,it's just that I'm supine
(that's avoided-I know).
Physically I'm in pretty good shape
(see? she did say it again).
But mentally I'm comatose
(quick boy, the dictionary!)
You know you're the only one I love!
(new fish, same hook)
Bye now
(bye now).
(She won't get up,she won't go out, baby! what's it all
about?
Why,why,why,why,why?!)
Well,in simple english I'm lazy,I wanna be lazy,
I long to be out in the sun, with no work to be done.
under that awning they call the sky,
stretching and yawning, and let the world go drifting
I wouldn't peep through the deep tangled
wildwood,counting sheep,
'till I sleep like a child would,
with a great big valise full of books to read, where
it's peaceful.
While I'm killin' time, being lazy.
Wrong number,wrong number..
Oh Sam,you're sweet!
With a great big valise full of books to read,where
it's peaceful.
(kiss, kiss me)
(hold, hold me)
(kiss me, hold me, kiss me, hold me...)
kiss, kiss me
say you miss, miss me
kiss me love, with heavenly affection
hold, hold me close to you
hold me, see me through
with all your heart's protection
thrill, thrill me
with your charms
take me, in your arms
and make my life perfection
kiss, kiss me darling
then, kiss me once again
make my dreams come true
(this is the moment, oh thrill me)
thrill me, thrill me (with your charms)
take me, take me (in your arms)
and make my life perfection
take me, darling don't foresake me
kiss me
hold me tight
love me, love me tonight
(kiss me, hold me, take me, love me, kiss me, kiss me,
I've looked around the country and I've seen it all
And what I want, I'm ready to name
It's big and strong and handsome and it's 6 feet tall
I'm gonna file my claim
I've struck a real bonanza and he's rough and rash
But what he's got, I'm ready to tame
He's worth a fancy fortune but it's not in cash
I'm gonna file my claim
I got the fever, ooh, the fever
But not for gold in the ground
I want the title to something vital
That I can throw my fences around
A girl should never hustle with a pick and pan
To dig for gold, that isn't her game
I'll find the man who's found it then I'll get that man
Who's gonna help me file my claim, I gotta file my claim
Ooh, looking for nuggets? Ooh, mush
A, B, C, D, who's gonna file me under love?
There ain't a man, not a single man
There ain't a man alive who wouldn't trade his gold
For what it takes to stay in the game
So have your fun and spend before you get too old
Who's gonna help me file my claim?
Who's gonna help me, help, help me
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday Mr President
Happy birthday to you
Thanks, Mr President
For all the things you've done
The battles that you've won
The way you deal with U.S. Steel
And our problems by the ton
We thank you so much

old Mr Winter whimpers and whines.
Down in the meadow, under the snow,
April is teaching green things to grow.
When Mr West Wind howls in a glade,
old Mr Summer nods in the shade.
Down in the meadow, deep in the brook,
catfish are waiting for the hook.
Old Lady Blackbird flirts with the scarecrow,
scarecrow is waving at the moon.
Old Mr Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump, bump,
with the magic of June.
When Mr East Wind shouts over head,
then all the leaves turn yellow and red.
Down in the meadow corn stocks are high
pumpkins are ripe and ready for pie.
Old Lady Blackbird flirts with the scarecrow,
scarecrow's waving at the Moon.
Old Mr Moon makes hearts everywhere go bump-bump
with the magic of June.
When Mr North Wind rolls on the breeze,
old father Christmas trims over trees.
Down in the meadow snow shoftly gleams
The French were bred to
Die for love they
Delight in fighting
Duels but I prefer a
Man who lives and gives
Expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may
Be quite continental but
Diamonds are a girl's
Best friend a kiss may
Be grand but it won't
Pay the rental on your
Humble flat or help you
At the automat
Men grow cold as girls
Grow old and we all lose
Our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-
Shaped these rocks don't
Lose their shape diamonds
Are a girl's best friend
Tiffany's...Cartier...
Black Star Frost Gorham
Talk to me Harry Winston
Tell me all about it
There may come a time
When a lass needs a
Lawyer but diamonds are a
Girl's best friend there
May come a time when a
Hard-boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice
But get that ice or else
No dice
He's your guy when stocks
Are high but beware when
They start to descend it's
Then that those louses go
Back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best
Friend
I've heard of affairs that
Are strictly platonic but
Diamonds are a girl's best
Friend and I think affairs
That you must keep
Liaisonic are better bets
If little pets get big
Baguettes
Time rolls on and youth is
Gone and you can't
Straighten up when you
Bend but stiff back or
Stiff knees you stand
Straight at Tiffany's
Diamonds...diamonds I
Don't mean rhinestones but
Diamonds are a girl's best
After you get what you want you don't want it.
If I gave you the moon, you'd grow tired of it soon.
You're like a baby, you want what you want when you want
But after you are presented with what you want, you're
discontented.
You're always wishing and wanting for something
when you get what you want, you don't want what you get,
and though I sit upon your knee, you'll grow tired of me,
'cause after you get what you want,
you don't want what you wanted at all.
Changeable, you've got a changeable nature,
always always changing your mind.
There's a longing in your eye hard to satisfy,
and here's the reason why:
'cause after you get what you want you don't want it,
baby I don't mean to make you blue but you need a talking
'cause after you get what you want,
you don't want what you wanted at all.
Buh-bum.. buh-bum...
Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree, for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby,so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue,
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby,so hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed,
Think of all the fellows that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be as good
If you check off my christmas list
Santa baby, I want a yacht and really thats not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa honey, one little thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine,
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex and checks,
Sign your x on the line
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my chirstmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you,
Let's see if you believe in me
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring,
I don't mean on the phone,
Santa baby,and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Anyone can see I love you
Anyone can see I care
The way I hold your hand
Ans smile in your direction
Tells the world my heart
Is filled with nothing but affection
Knock me in your arms forever
That's the place I want to be
So anyone can see that I belong to you
And you belong to me
Knock me in your arms forever
That's the place I want to be
I'm through with love
I'll never fall again
Said adieu to love
Don't ever call again
For I must love you or no one
And so I'm through with love
I've locked my heart
I'll keep my feelings there
I've stocked my heart
with icy,frigid air
And I mean to care for no one
Because I'm through with love
Why did you lead me
To think you could care?
You didn't need me
For you had your share
of slaves around you
To hound you and swear
with deep emotion and devotion to you
Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the thing that used to be
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love
I'm through with love
Baby I'm through with love
After you get what you want you don't want it.
If I gave you the moon, you'd grow tired of it soon.
You're like a baby, you want what you want when you want
it.
But after you are presented with what you want, you're

I know you!
We're the ladies of the chorus
We're the ladies of the chorus
Here to sing and dance for you.
Our flirty flirty eyes will wink in your direction.
We will throw you all a kiss that's filled with sweet
affection.
If you keep applauding for us
We will give a better show.
A great big howdy-do
From the ladies of the chorus
Just for you.
We're just two little girls from Little Rock.
We lived on the wrong side of the tracks.
But the gentlemen friends who used to call,
they never did seem to mind at all.
They came to the wrong side of the tracks.
Then someone broke my heart in Little Rock,
so I up and left the pieces there.
Like a little lost lamb I roamed about,
I came to New York and I found out
that men are the same way everywhere.
I was young and determined to be wined and dined and
ermined
and I worked at it all around the clock.
Now one of these days in my fancy clothes,
I'm a going back home and punch the nose
of the one who broke my heart (the one who broke my
heart)
The one who broke my heart in Little Rock, Little Rock,
Little Rock...Little Rock
I'm just a little girl from Little Rock,
a horse used to be my closest pal.
Though I never did learn to read or write,
I learned about love in the pale moonlight
and now I'm an educated gal.
I learned an awful lot in Little Rock,
and here's some advice I'd like to share:
find a gentleman who is shy or bold,
or short or tall, or young or old..
as long as the guy's a millionaire!
For a kid from the small street I did very well on Wall
Street,
though I never owned a share of stock.
And now that I'm known in the biggest banks,
I'm going back home and give my thanks
to the one who broke my heart (the one who broke my
heart)
The one who broke my heart in Little Rock!
If you listen you can hear it call.(Wailaree).
There is a river called the river of no return,
sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free.
Love is a traveller on the river of no return,
swept on forever to be lost in the stormy sea.(Wailaree).
I can hear the river call (no return, no return).
I can hear my lover call,"come to me".
I lost my love on the river,
and forever my heart will yearn.
Gone, gone forever,
down the river of no return.
Wailaree, wailaree.
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
This one thing I know
When love goes wrong
A man takes flight
And women get uppity-oh
The sun don't beam
The moon don't shine
The tide don't ebb and flow
A clock won't strike
A match won't light
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
The blues all gather round you
And day is dark as night
A man ain't fit to live with
And a woman's sorry sight
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes, nothing goes rjght
A woman's a fright, a terrible sight
A man goes out, gets high as a kite
Love is something you just can't fight
You can't fight it, honey
You can't fight it
When love goes wrong, nothin'
No bows, honey, just cigat bars and off
Nothing goes right
Crazy, Crazy oui, oui
lt's like we said
You're better off dead
When love has lost its glow
So take this down in black and white
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
(Frankie Vaughn)
The gentle art of conversation is deader than the Dead Sea scrolls.
We've become the weakest kind of nation.
We're uncommunicating souls.
No one talks. No one talks.
It's something we seldom ever do.
No one talks. No one talks.
(Marilyn Monroe)
No one talks but you.
Let's make love.
(Frankie Vaughn)
Here we sit and we chatter.
What are we thinking of?
Let's not make with the patter baby.
Let's make love.
(Marilyn Monroe)
If you roar like a lion,
I could coo like a dove.
If you're sold, begin buying babe.
Let's make love.
(Frankie Vaughn)
Gosh, it's hot.
(Marilyn Monroe)
No, don't turn tv on.
Instead just turn me on.
I light up like neon.
Just a tiny section of your affection in my direction will do. Ooh!
(Frankie Vaughn)
You just love my embraces
Cause they'll fit like a glove.
We'll be off to the races maybe.
(Marilyn Monroe)
Kiss me baby.
Let's make love.
Don't just lay there.
Honey, do something!
Don't just contemplate me.
Prove that you don't hate me.
Come on, osculate me.
(Frankie Vaughn)
Maybe moonlight trips with me
Come to grips with me
Lips to lips with me, do.
You just love my embraces.
(Marilyn Monroe)
Cause they'll fit like a glove.
(Frankie Vaughn)
We could get down to paces maybe.
(Marilyn Monroe)
Kiss me baby.
Let's make love.
(Frankie Vaughn)
My oh my but it's warm here.
I sure wore a tight collar.
Do you know a good doctor?
(Frankie Vaughn)
If you peruse the people in the news,
The people that the magazines refer to.
(Marilyn Monroe)
You'll find that they are naturally soigné,
The special ones that all of us refer to.
(Frankie Vaughn)
They've each a trait that seems to state first raters.
(Marilyn Monroe)
That separates them from the small potaters.
(Frankie Vaughn)
Maria Callas
Is booked in Dallas.
The carpet's rolled out and they're sold out clear to the skies.
(Marilyn Monroe)
Specialization, specialization.
(Frankie Vaughn)
They'll love your high notes if
(Marilyn Monroe)
If you specialize.
(Frankie Vaughn)
When Elvis rotates,
Each creep notates.
It may look funny,
But the money's what it supplies.
(Marilyn Monroe)
Specialization, specialization.
(Frankie Vaughn)
You'll meet the colonel if
(Marilyn Monroe)
If you specialize.
(Frankie Vaughn)
Salome did it with veils.
Abe Lincoln did it with rails.
Toledo did it with scales
The Chinese built that Wall.
(Marilyn Monroe)
Specialized star.
(Frankie Vaughn)
Marc Clement gives gals the tremors.
This Casanova sure has the roverest eyes.
(Marilyn Monroe)
Specialization, specialization.
(Frankie Vaughn)
You'll rule the barnyard if
(Marilyn Monroe)
If you specialize.
(Frankie Vaughn)
The Farrows did it with springs.
And Darwin did it with links.
Some robbers did it with Brinks.
Carnegie used a Hall.
(Marilyn Monroe)
Specialized star.
(Frankie Vaughn)
Van Cliberen caused us a high burn.
While we were blushin'
Some Russian gave him the prize.
(Marilyn Monroe)
Specialization, specialization.
(Frankie Vaughn)
They'll give you medals if,
They'll love your high notes if,
You'll meet the Colonel if,
You'll rule the barnyard if,
(Marilyn Monroe)
If you specialize!
Hi Tiger
Teach me tiger how to kiss you. wah wah wah wah wah
Show me tiger how to kiss you. wah wah wah wah wah
Take my lips, they belong to you.
But teach me first, teach me what to do.
Touch me tiger when I'm close to you. wah wah wah wah wah
Help me tiger I don't know what to do. wah wah wah wah wah
I know that you could love me to
But show me first, show me what to do
This is the first love, that I have ever known
What must I do to make you my very own.?
Teach me tiger how to tease you. wah wah wah wah wah
Tiger, tiger I wanna squeeze you. wah wah wah wah wah
All of my love I will give to you
But teach me TIGER. or I'll teach you
Tiger . Tiger. Tiger.
When I fall in love,
It will be forever,
Or I'll never fall in love.
In a restless world,
Like this is,
Love is ended
Before it's begun.
And too many moonlight kisses,
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
When I give my heart,
It will be completely,
Or I'll never give my heart.
And the moment I can feel that,
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you.
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love...
With you.
This is the last
Time you'll see me
I'll be the first to go
I was the one who was counting
But always the last to know
I'm always the last to know
You're no good for me
This is temporary
Just like Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe
This won't ever be
One of those happy endings
And I'll be the last one to know
And I'll be the last one to know
I should have known this was coming
It happens everytime
There's no place to go
And no one waiting
I'm always the last in line
I'm always the last in line
You're no good for me
This is temporary
Just like Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe
This won't ever be
One of those happy endings
And I'd be the last one to know
Can I be the last one to know?
(I'll be the last one, I'll be the last one)
You're no good for me
This is temporary
Just like Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe
This won't ever be
One of those happy endings
Can I be the last one?
You're no good for me
This is temporary
Just like Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe
This won't ever be
One of those happy endings
Hey, I wrote these myself, so they're probably wrong...
[Chorus:]
She's a star in my sky, she's my Marilyn Monroe
She's the song in my head everywhere I go,
She's all that I need, she's my Norma Jeane
She's my Marilyn Monroe.
Okay,
She walked by, All white dress,
Shorty is the type, I wanna wife with
She used to only dream of the Hollywood life,
Now she shines to bright for them Hollywood lights,
Chick hates says she do it for the glamour [? ]
She walks and talks like she do it for the camera,
Cause she's all mine,
My new souvenir,
Cause she knows how to treat a man,
And she dresses to impress like an idol can,
Every millionaire wants her,
Keep her on my arm,
'Round the city just to flaunt her,
Actress, singer, all of the above,
Magazine face that the paparazzi love,
Try to knock her and she won't hear you,
She's comin' to a theatre near you.
[Chorus]
She has a face like Marilyn,
Big ass and you know I gotta stare at 'em
She held it there like a pair of twins,
I had a few but shorty don't compare to them
Look she's Monroe, I'm Kennedy,
When I feel low, she gives me energy,
I'm into her, I know she into me
Shorty's an American icon,
And she turns to a star with the lights on,
But she do her own thing with the lights off,
Behind closed doors, Turn the mikes off,
She's the baddest thing around
Red carpets out whenever she swing around
You can find her in the car when I ride,
Marilyn Monroe, you're the star in the sky
