[Verse 1]
If I sing something you don't like
Am I the problem?
’Cause I think I've been holding back
It's not what I wanna
[Pre-Chorus]
If I show a little bit more skin
Already know what you’re gonna think
Don't tell me what I'm gonna do, what I don't
I will decide what I will, what I won't
Is it like Marilyn Monroe
If I wanna do it on my own?
Don't tell me what I'm gonna do, what I don't
I’m gonna do it the way I want (Woo)
[Chorus]
You do you, you don’t do me (Woo)
You do you, you don't do me
[Verse 2]
If I slept with a hundred guys
You’d think it's a crime
The less I wear (Less I wear), the more you criticise
I'm just a thing, ain't I?
[Pre-Chorus]
My lips are a little bit more red
But that doesn’t take away what's said
Don't tell me what I'm gonna do, what I don't
I will decide what I will, what I won't
Is it likе Marilyn Monroe
If I wanna do it on my own?
Don't tell me what I'm gonna do, what I don't
I'm gonna do it thе way I want
[Chorus]
You do you, you don't do me (Woo, you don't do me)
You do you, you don't do me
[Bridge]
I've got some things to say, it's easy to explain
I don't need permission to be who I wanna be
I've got some things to say, it's easy to explain
Mmm, you do you, you don't do me
[Chorus]
You do you, you don't do me (Woo, you don't do me)
You do you, you don't do me (Woo, you don't do me)
You do you, you don't do me (Woo)
[Outro]
(Woo)

I felt empowered making ‘Marilyn Monroe’ and I want anyone who’s listening to it to feel like they can be whoever they want to be without the fear of being judged. I wanted to make a song that you can sing and dance along to but also makes you feel stron...
