Marilyn Monroe
Nicki Minaj · Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded — The Re-Up
Yeah 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 the road
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
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
You ain't getting my best
Is this how Marilyn Monroe felt? felt felt felt
Must be how Marilyn Monroe felt? felt felt felt
Take me or leave me
I'll never be perfect
believe me I'm worth it
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
Is this how Marilyn Monroe felt? felt felt felt
Must be how Marilyn Monroe felt? felt felt felt
