My Mother Looked Like Marilyn Monroe

[Verse 1]
So far from the ordinary things I once knew
Well, I wait for the chance to tell you what is true
I've stood here a long time
Everything is clear
There's no one around but you're always near

[Chorus]
You know what to do
Well sometimes I feel like letting go
And I swear that it's true
Yeah, my mother looked like Marilyn Monroe

[Verse 2]
Forgetting the past I feel so inclined
To talk about the last thing that's on my mind
And one of the saddest Saturdays gone by
I faced the situation
Where everybody cried

[Chorus]
You know what to do
But sometimes I feel like letting go
And I swear that it's true
Yeah, my mother looked like Marilyn Monroe

[Bridge]
You wanna feel so bad
You think I don't care
When I'm really wanted now
Out there in the air
This side of love

[Verse 3]
We sat in a bar that's only painted green
She lies in a valley, not on the screen
What's all the commotion
Going on outside
Will I find my emotion welling up inside

[Chorus]
Well, you know what to do
But sometimes I feel like letting go
And I swear that it's true
My mother looked like Marilyn Monroe

[Chorus]
Well, you know what to do
But sometimes I feel like letting go
And I swear that it's true
My mother looked like Marilyn Monroe
