Marilyn Monroe

[Verse 1] Okay (Okay, okay, okay), baby, I know ya I think about ya so much I got paranoia But that's okay (Okay, okay, okay) I wanna show ya That all this workin' 'round the clock can't be good for ya Every day, you wake up Put on your makeup Really just a touch up Nothin' to make up for Then put your bun up, all done up You get the numbers to run up You tryna work the whole summer Like every second the sun up [Chorus] You got that Nine to five life, but you don't know You're the type they idolize 'round the whole globe Hollywood eyes in your photos In the skin, you're Marilyn Monroe [Post-Chorus] Nine to five life, but you don't know Idolize 'round the whole globе Hollywood eyes in your photos Marilyn Monroe That's just thе way [Verse 2] Okay (Okay, okay, okay), baby I told ya This time is walking out the door as we get older And that's okay (Okay, okay, okay) But I can't hold ya I wish you spent like every second comin' over Come on in, pull up a seat, put up your feet, babe How you been? Dinner's on me, bon appétit Stay for the night, and while I pour my mind I got these bottles, and you probably know I don't like wine So what you wanna do? I'll leave it up to you But we could pour up or roll up until the second the sun up [Chorus] You got that Nine to five life, but you don't know You're the type they idolize 'round the whole globe Hollywood eyes in your photos In the skin, you're Marilyn Monroe [Post-Chorus] Nine to five life, but you don't know Idolize 'round the whole globe Hollywood eyes in your photos Marilyn Monroe That's just the way (That's just the way) Yeah, yeah Ooh-ooh (Come on, come on) (That's just the way) Ooh-oh Yeah, yeah [Outro] She gon' work all day, yeah, yeah She gon' work all day 'til it all work out She gon' work all day, yeah, yeah She gon' work all day 'til it all work (Yeah, oh) Yeah, oh, oh Day breaks and we're all eyes Then fate takes up your lifetime No matter where you go, no matter who you're known by Time flies you by I'll be your lifeline
