KARLIENE

Lyrics

Is this what you want?
Come to bed eyes
Curtain call smile
Fame feels just love
If all you’ve known
Is being alone

She lights up the screen
Hollywood’s girl
Red lips and pearls
I’m still Norma Jean
Never enough
Lonely for love

They love Marilyn
Till the morning they wake up with me
So troubled I’m not her
I’ve watched every single one leave

Do you love me?
Say you do
I’ll be your dream
Let me lean on you
I’ll play all her scenes
If you’ll stay with me
Do you love me?
Say you do

When I was a girl
I dreamed of fame
lights round my name
Loved by all the world
I sold my soul
To be Miss Monroe

They love Marilyn
Till the morning they wake up with me
So troubled I’m not her
I’ve watched every single one leave

Do you love me?
Say you do
I’ll be your dream
Let me lean on you
I’ll play all her scenes
If you’ll stay with me
Do you love me?
Say you do

Flashbulbs drown me
No one sees me
Captured in their movie
Camera’s rolling
Tears I’m holding
When will I feel worthy?

Do you love me?
Say you do
I’ll be your dream
Let me lean on you
I’ll play all her scenes
If you’ll stay with me
Do you love me?
Say you do

They’re all watching
But they don’t see me
I’m captured in their movie
All they see is Marilyn
And they all love Marilyn
But when they yell cut
It's just Norma Jean
And so I watch them all leave
And that’s the price I pay
To be a big, big star
To be something from a dream
To be Marilyn
