Marilyn

Well she walks with a lisp and she talks with a sway
I wonder if i’ll ever figure out someday
How to wrap her in my fingertips and fly her far away
Watch her lashes flutter when she finds a place to stay
Ask her what you might and she’ll tell ya what ya may
I figure it’s another method just another way
To tie a handsome bow around what else she wants to say
And tip toe past the water to the steeple of the bay
But she don’t really need my help
I just hope that she enjoys my company
She was always gonna save herself
I keep thinking that she does but she don’t need me
Sleep soft baby
Sleep soft
And just tell me which way to run
Sleep soft baby
Sleep soft
And just tell me which way to point my gun
Mmm
I wanna knock out the teeth of every single boy she meets
Just to make sure they know that she’s stronger than me
I wanna hug her from behind 100 million times
Til she forgets about the index fingers and the slime
Until she forgets where she came from
And leaves me with the pillow and my frame numb
Until she forgets where she came from
But she ain’t ever gone forget where the pain comes from
And maybe she don’t wanna forget
She told me she ain’t ever had a single regret
And maybe any many that’s ever fuckin wronged her
Has only ever made her fuckin stronger
Maybe any man that’s ever fuckin wronged her
Has only ever made her fuckin stronger. .
