Marilyn:
They thought they could dispose of me.
They tried to make me small.
I suffered each indignity but now rise above it all.
Yes, the price that I paid was all I had
But at last I found release.
And if something good [bad word] from bad,
The past can rest in peace.

Ah, if you see someone's hurt
And in need of a hand, don't forget me.
Or hear a melody cryin' from some baby grand, don't forget me.
When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds you wish were all free,
Please say that you won't, I pray that you don't forget me.

But forget every man who I ever met
'Cause they only lived to control.
For a kiss, they'd pay a thousand
Yet they paid 50 cents for my soul.
They took their piece -
The price of fame -
That no one can repay.
Ah, but they didn't buy me when they bought my name
And that is why I pray...

Ah, if you see someone's hurt
And in need of a hand, don't forget me.
Or hear a melody cryin' from some baby grand, don't forget me.
When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds you wish were all free,
Please say that you won't, I pray that you don't forget me.

There are some in this world who have strength of their own, 
Never broken or need of repair.
But there are some born to shine who can't do it alone 
So protect them and take special care.
Take care 
And don't forget me. 
Please take care 
And don't forget me.

When you look to the heavens with someone you love
And a light's shining bright from afar
Hope you see my face there
And then offer a prayer
And please let me be, let me be that star!
