Tell me it's not true
Say it's just a story
Something on the news
Tell me it's not true
Though it's here before me
Say it's just a dream
Say it's just a scene
From an old movie of years ago
From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe

Say it's just some clowns
Two players in the lime light
Bring the curtain down
Say it's just two clowns
Who couldn't get the lines right
Say it's just a show on the radio
That we can turn over and start again
That we can turn over
It's only a game

Tell me it's not true
Say I only dreamed it
Morning will come soon
Tell me it's not true
Say you didn't mean it
Say it's just pretend
Say it's just the end of an old movie from years ago
Just an old movie with Marilyn Monroe

Say it's just not true
Say it's just pretend
Say it's just the end of an old movie from years ago
From and old movie with Marilyn Monroe
