This one's for a girl named Norma Jean
She was a beauty queen
Had the world upon a string
They named her Marilyn Monroe and they
gave her a role to play, said
"Show your legs and paint your face."
And all the papers said,
the papers said
Smile for the camera
Baby, you're a star
Smile for the camera
You are gonna go so far
Oh, she lost touch with a girl called Norma Jean
She was just trying to be the
one who had everything
Oh, and everywhere she went became a stage
Men with their hungry gaze
That was just the price to pay
And all the papers said,
the papers said
Smile for the camera
Baby, you're a star
Smile for the camera
You are gonna go so far
And on the day she died
They said she lost her mind
They found her wearing nothing but Chanel No. 5
But if you asked her what the reason was, she'd tell you that it was because
She was only playin
She was only playin
She was only playin her part
And all the papers said,
the papers said
Smile for the camera
Baby, you're a star
Smile for the camera
You are gonna go so far
So this one's for a girl called Norma Jean
She was a radiant beam
Stuck inside a TV screen
Oh, you know, to pick a flower is to choose her dying day
They put her in a vase
Then they watched her wilt away
