[Verse 1]
Just one drop in the ocean
Turned me into a reckless tidal wave
Car crashing in slow motion
You want to but you just can't look away

[Verse 2]
See through in pink, one more drink
For the silent silhouette sitting in the hall
You never talk 'cause you know that's what draws me to you
Even when I wish for more

[Chorus]
You like me more when I need you
And, I need you more than I'm supposed to do
So, tell me what happens in the end
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn

[Verse 3]
You wear me well at midnight
I hang on your arm and laugh with all your friends
You're fluorescent under city lights
At your best, you're magic even if it's just pretend

[Chorus]
You like me more when I need you
And, I need you more than I'm supposed to do
So, tell me what happens in the end
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn

[Bridge]
I need you more than I want to
You need me more than you say you do
Tell me now what happens in the end
Tell me now what happens in the end

[Chorus]
You like me more when I need you (I need you more than I want to)
And, I need you more than I'm supposed to do (You need me more than you say you do)
So, tell me what happens in the end (Oh, tell me what happens?)
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn
I like you more when I'm lonely
You like me more when I'm on my knees
Tell me what happens in the end
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn
