All of your life you've had a smile on your face
A smile made by Hollywood for you to portray
And even when you lost your baby you had to show that through
Smiling like everything's alright, no respect for you
A lover of arts like the fame loved you
But you couldn't take it, your private life on the news
Happiness you seeked out, happiness you couldn't find
You tried to find the right man, only one cared when you died
Say goodbye, oh why, oh my, loving queen
Believe when I say you're the best damn woman I've ever seen
Whoa-oh time keeps on moving but you stick to me
I've never seen someone so perfect, yet imperfect like Norma Jeane
By the end of your life things were dull and blue
It wasn't long until you started losing the real you
Hollywood's a glamorous place, the grand title so bold
They'd pay a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul
Your reality poisoned, what they want you to be
And all you ever wanted was to be loved and to be free
Oh so marvelous, shown on the silver screen
The perfect Marilyn was in and Norma Jeane has been
Say goodbye, oh why, oh my, loving queen
Believe when I say you're the best damn woman I've ever seen
Whoa-oh time keeps on moving but you stick to me
I've never seen someone so perfect, yet imperfect like Norma Jeane
Say goodbye, oh why, oh my, loving queen
Believe when I say you're the best damn woman I've ever seen
Whoa-oh time keeps on moving but you stick to me
I've never seen someone so perfect, yet imperfect like Norma Jeane
