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 of Marilyn Monroe

Say it's just some clowns

Two players in the limelight

And bring the curtain down

Say it's just two clowns

Who couldn't get their 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

And 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 of years ago

From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe

Say it's just pretend

Say it's just the end

Of an old movie from years ago

From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe
