Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can be selfish

Yeah, so impatient

Sometimes, I feel like Marilyn Monroe

I'm insecure

Yeah, I make mistakes

Sometimes, I feel like I'm at the end of the road

[PreChorus]

I could get low, I could get low

Don't know which way is up

Yeah, I could get high, I could get high

Like I could never come down

[Chorus]

Call it a curse

Or just call me blessed

If you can't handle my worst

You ain't gettin' my best

Is this how Marilyn Monroe felt, felt, felt, felt?

Must be how Marilyn Monroe felt, felt, felt, felt

[Verse 2]

It's like all the good things

They fall apart, like

Li-li-li-like Ma-Marilyn Monroe

Truth is, we mess up 'til we get it right

I don't wanna end up lo-lo-losing my soul

[PreChorus]

I could get low, I could get low

Don't know which way is up

Yeah, I could get high, I could get high

Like I could never come down

[Chorus]

Call it a curse

Or just call me blessed

If you can't handle my worst

You ain't gettin' my best

Is this how Marilyn Monroe felt, felt, felt, felt?

Must be how Marilyn Monroe felt, felt, felt, felt

[Bridge]

Take me or leave me

I'll never be perfect

Believe me, I'm worth it

So, take me or leave me (Take me or leave me)

So, take me or leave me (T-t-take me or leave me)

[Chorus]

Call it a curse

Or just call me blessed

If you can't handle my worst

You ain't gettin' my best

Is this how Marilyn Monroe felt, felt, felt, felt?

Must be how Marilyn Monroe felt, felt, felt, felt

Is this how Marilyn Monroe felt, felt, felt, felt?

Must be how Marilyn Monroe felt, felt, felt, felt
