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 from years ago From an old movie of Marilyn Monroe's 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 from years ago Of an old movie with Marilyn Monroe
