Marilyn Monroe - The Essential Marilyn Monroe [compilation] (2006) by Marilyn Monroe (보컬) on maniadb.com

The French were bred to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat, or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
...Tiffany's ... Cartier...
Talk to me, Harry Winston,tell me all about it!
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice
But get that ice or else no dice
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
And I think affairs that you must keep laconic
Are better bets if little pets get big baggettes
Time rolls on and youth is gone
And you can't straighten up when you bend
But stiff back or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffany's
Diamonds... Diamonds...
- I don't mean rhinestones -
But Diamonds, Are A Girl's Best Friends

We're havin a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The temperatures rising, it isn't suprising
She certainly can, can can!
She started a heatwave
By letting her seat wave,
in such a way that the customers say
that she certainly can, can-can!
Gee, Gee!
Her anatomy
Makes the mercury
Rise!
to ninety three
We're havin' a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The way that she moves
The thermometor proves
that she certainly can!

I've looked around the country and I've seen it all
and what I want I'm ready to name.
It's big and strong and handsome and it's 6 feet tall.
I'm gonna file my claim.
I've struck a real bonanza and he's rough and rash,
but what he's got I'm ready to tame.
He's worth a fancy fortune but it's not in cash,
I'm gonna file my claim!
I got the fever,ooh, the fever, but not for gold in the ground.
I want the title to something vital that I can throw my fences around.
A girl should never hustle with a pick and pan to dig for gold,
that isn't her game.
I'll find the man who found it then I'll get that man,
who's gonna help me file my claim?
I'm gonna file my claim.
Ooh, looking for nuggets? Ooh, mush!
A, B, C, D, who's gonna file me under love?
There ain't a man, not a single man!
There ain't a man alive who wouldn't trade his gold
for what it takes to stay in the game.
So have you fun and spend before you get too old.
Who's gonna help me file my claim?
Who's gonna help me, help, help me,
who's gonna help me file my claim..tonight.

If I know just what to say when some trouble heads his way
and can make him feel that everything is good,
then I act like a woman and he likes a woman
to act like a woman should.
If he's late and I'm alone and he doesn't telephone
and the kiss that greets him says

He's not so good in a crowd but when you get him alone,
you'd be surprised.
He isn't much at a dance but then when he takes you home,
you'd be surprised.
He doesn't look like much of a lover,
don't judge a book by its cover,
'cause he's got the face of an angel but
there's a devil in his eye!
He's such a delicate thing but when he's starting to squeeze,
you'd be surprised.
He doesn't look very strong but when you sit on his knee,
you'd be surprised.
At a party or at a ball,
I've got to admit he's nothing at all,
but in a Morris chair, you'd be surprised.
He doesn't say very much but when he's starting to speak,
you'd be surprised.
He's not so good at the start but at the end of the week,
you'd be surprised.
On a streetcar or in a train,
you'd think he was born without any brains.
But in a taxi cab, and when he starts to grab,
I say in a taxi cab, you'd be surprised.
This one's a real danger!

I'll be in my room alone
every post meridian
and I'll read my diary
and that book by Mister Gideon.

Bye, bye, baby
remember you're my baby
when they give you the eye,
and just to show that I care
I will write and declare
that I'm on the loose
but I'm still on the square.

I've been lonely
but even though I'm lonely
there'll be no other guy.
Though I'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
with my baby by and by
with my baby by and by.

I'll be gloomy
but send that rainbow to me
then my shadows will fly.
Though you'll be gone fo a while
I know that I'll be smiling
with my baby by and by.

There is a river called THE RIVER OF NO RETURN
Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free!
Love is a trav'ler on THE RIVER OF NO RETURN
Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea
Wail-a-ree I can hear the river call [ no return, no return ]
Where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree
I can hear my lover call come to me [ no return, no return ]
I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn
Gone gone for ever down THE RIVER OF NO RETURN
Wail-a-ree wail-a-re-e-ee
She'll/He'll never return to me! [ no return, no return, no return

Hello!
(here we go!)
No sorry,not tonight
(that was quick!).
Shhh! Yes?
(Jim?Jack?Jeffrey?)
No,it's just that I'm languid.
(Well,how do you do?It's nice to know ya).
Physically I'm in pretty good shape
(brother,you could say that again!)
It's my attitude that's passive,
you know you're the only one I love
(that's all, he's hooked).
Bye now
(bye now)
Hello
(where are we again?)
No sorry,not tonight
(she's languid).
Shhh!Quiet!
(Bill,Bobby,Bruce?)
No,it's just that I'm supine
(that's avoided-I know).
Physically I'm in pretty good shape
(see? she did say it again).
But mentally I'm comatose
(quick boy, the dictionary!)
You know you're the only one I love!
(new fish, same hook)
Bye now
(bye now).
(She won't get up,she won't go out, baby! what's it all about?
Why,why,why,why,why?!)
Well,in simple english I'm lazy,I wanna be lazy,
I long to be out in the sun, with no work to be done.
under that awning they call the sky,
stretching and yawning, and let the world go drifting by,
I wouldn't peep through the deep tangled wildwood,counting sheep,
'till I sleep like a child would,
with a great big valise full of books to read, where it's peaceful.
While I'm killin' time, being lazy.
Wrong number,wrong number..
Oh Sam,you're sweet!
With a great big valise full of books to read,where it's peaceful.
While I'm killin' time, being lazy!

(kiss, kiss me)
(hold, hold me)
(kiss me, hold me, kiss me, hold me...)
kiss, kiss me
say you miss, miss me
kiss me love, with heavenly affection
hold, hold me close to you
hold me, see me through
with all your heart's protection
thrill, thrill me
with your charms
take me, in your arms
and make my life perfection
kiss, kiss me darling
then, kiss me once again
make my dreams come true
(this is the moment, oh thrill me)
thrill me, thrill me (with your charms)
take me, take me (in your arms)
and make my life perfection
take me, darling don't foresake me
kiss me
hold me tight
love me, love me tonight
(kiss me, hold me, take me, love me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me)

I'm through with love
I'll never fall again
Said adieu to love
Don't ever call again
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love

I've locked my heart
I'll keep my feelings there
I've stocked my heart
with icy, frigid air
And I mean to care for no one
Because I'm through with love

Why did you lead me
To think you could care?
You didn't need me
For you had your share
of slaves around you
To hound you and swear
with deep emotion and devotion to you

Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the thing that used to be
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love

I'm through with, baby,
I'm through with love
