Marilyn

I didn't know Marilyn

No I didn't know her

I read her book

And saw her movies

But I didn't know her

No I didn't know her



We didn't know Marilyn

No we didn't know her

Friends said they did

But did they really?

No we didn't know her

Did anybody?



Did anybody really know Marilyn?

Did anybody?

People wrote about her

And said they did

But did anybody really know Marilyn?



Well now she's dead

And now she's gone

And all we have left

Are memories and songs

Of a Movie goddess

With beauty so strong

That she capture the world

And proved her critics wrong

So sad to see

That she didn't live long

But did we know Marilyn ?
