Marilyn

I overheard a man
Talkin' to his friends about some gal named Marilyn
Said she was cookin' him a good dinner
But he wished that she was thinner, well, I hated that man
And my heart went out to poor Marilyn

So much love to give
Buyin' trinkets for the bathroom and good wine for drinkin'
But you see, this man, he was a menace
He disregarded her presence and I loathe him as he stands
Takin' all he can get from poor Marilyn

He was a nasty man
He was a foolish man
Well, often he did not seem bothered
He was an undeservin' father with a cruel hand
He was a mean old man (ooh-ooh-ooh)

All the time she spent
Learnin' to love again
What he thought was awful
Like her belly growin' softer after she birthed their baby daughter
Still cannot comprehend
All the sadness that I feel for sweet Marilyn

He was a nasty man
He was a foolish man
It was always one thing or another
He was in search of a younger lover to take his hand
Oh, but no one can (ooh-ooh-ooh)

He was a nasty man
He was a foolish man (ooh-ooh)
He was a mean old man

(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
He was a nasty man (ooh-ooh)
He was a mean old man, hmm, hmm

He was a foolish man (ooh-ooh)
He was a nasty man (ooh-ooh)
He was a mean old man
