about

A fictional dream about making out with Marilyn Monroe and finding out her ambitions out weighed her love for me.

lyrics

I used to dream oh dream
There was a cover girl just for me
Then I turned the corner now
She was singing outta key
Say what's your name girl
She said anything you want it to be
I said my name is Johnny
Is that you on the silver screen

I told you I want to be a movie star
No matter what it takes
Come in for a close-up now
And I'll show you just how it shakes

When lips meet for a reason
Can two lovers just be friends
There's no way I can let this go
Cause I know how the movie ends
The movie ends

So she ran into the sunset
Ambition was to blame
Then I saw a cover
Sweetheart of the Month Was her name
It was December 53 I recall
They called her Marilyn Monroe
My brunette baby is a platinum blonde
And my Van Nuys girl Oh She was gone

I told you I wanted to be a movie star
No matter what it takes
Come in for a close-up now
And I'll show how it shakes

When lips meet for a reason
Can two lovers just be friends
There's no way I can let this go
Cause I know how the movie ends

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you
A thousand dollars for a kiss
And fifty cents for your soul besides
It's all make believe isn't it?

I am good girl but not an angel
I do sin but I'm not the devil
I am just a small girl in a great big world
Trying to find someone to hold
Just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved

Sha sha sha she was gone....

I told you I want to be a movie star
No matter what it takes
Come in for a close-up now
And I'll show you just how it shakes

When lips meet for a reason
Can two lovers just be friends
There's no way I can let this go
Cause I know how the movie ends

When two lips meet for a reason
Can two lovers just be friends
That's me in the corner now
And I know how this movie ends
A where it ends
