"Marilyn Monroe" lyrics
Different
This one goes out to all the lovers
What can we do? We're helpless romantics
We can not help who we're attracted to
So let's all dance, and elevate each other
Dear diary (oh, dear diary), it's happenin' again (happenin' again)
This energy (oh the energy), like I'm 'bout to win (I'm 'bout to win)
I just close my eyes (I close my eyes) and visions appear (visions appear)
She's everything I want (everything I want), and it's crystal clear
Not even Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn Monroe)
Who? Cleopatra? Please (Cleopatra, please)
Not even Joan of Arc (Joan of Arc)
That don't mean nothin' to me
I just want a different girl
Girl, girl, girl, girl
Girl, girl, can't another good boy keep it this thorough
Why, why do I have to lie?
Pretend, make believe or hide, uh
When I love what I've described
But then again, I don't need no adjectives for this girl
Dear diary (oh, dear diary), it's happenin' again (happenin' again)
This energy (oh the energy), like I'm 'bout to win (I'm 'bout to win)
I just close my eyes (I close my eyes) and visions appear (visions appear)
She's everything I want (everything I want), and it's crystal clear
Not even Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn Monroe)
Who? Cleopatra? Please (Cleopatra, please)
Not even Joan of Arc (Joan of Arc)
That don't mean nothin' to me
I just want a different girl
Girl, girl, girl, girl
Girl, girl, girl on girl
Girl, girl, girl, girl
Girl, girl, can't another good boy keep it this thorough
Dear diary (oh, dear diary), it's happenin' again (happenin' again)
This energy (oh the energy), like I'm 'bout to win (I'm 'bout to win)
I just close my eyes (I close my eyes) and visions appear (visions appear)
She's everything I want (everything I want), and it's crystal clear
Not even Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn Monroe)
Who? Cleopatra? Please (Cleopatra, please)
Not even Joan of Arc (Joan of Arc), what's wrong with that?
That don't mean nothin' to me (Hey)
I just want a different girl (Uh)
What's wrong with that? Yeah
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that?
In honor of the groove and all who's surrendered to it
We say thank you, and we take it back
Wished so hard, I wished so hard that it came true
Then my lucky star, I guess you came from behind the moon
I put my arms around her, and I promise not to abuse you
Since now I found you, why the hell would I want to lose you?
Dear diary (oh, dear diary), it's happenin' again (happenin' again)
This energy (oh the energy), like I'm 'bout to win (I'm 'bout to win)
I just close my eyes (I close my eyes) and visions appear (visions appear)
She's everything I want (everything I want), and it's crystal clear
Not even Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn Monroe)
Who? Cleopatra? Please (Cleopatra, please)
Not even Joan of Arc (Joan of Arc)
That don't mean nothin' to me
I just want a different girl
Girl, girl, girl, girl
Girl, girl, girl on girl
Girl, girl, girl, girl
