[Verse 1]
I remember when I met you, down by the Needle
You were on my friend's arm, he was good people
He didn't love you, he didn't get it
He pa**ed you around, let all the friends hit it
At first, I figured, why not? So we kicked it
But you were too good, you had me addicted
I took you home, you took me higher
An all nighter, we spooned by the fire
We nodded out together, it was pure ecstasy
Better than ecstasy with you there next to me
But respectfully, my parents didn't like you
I told 'em we broke up, yeah I lied true
But I had to, for you I'd do anything
Give you everything, even Mom's wedding ring
Me and you was DiMaggio and Marilyn
I could be your hero, you could be my h**ne
[Chorus]
Ever since I met you I've been trying to forget you
But it ain't easy, no it ain't easy
I thought I loved you but now I don't want none of you
Why won't you leave me? Why won't you leave me?
Da da, dada, da da, da [4x]
[Verse 2]
I didn't need mary jane or crystal in my world
Didn't want molly and I didn't want a white girl
I wanted you, you made me feel godly
A ma**age across every inch of my body
When the money ran out, go figure, you ran out too
You gold digger
I lost my job f**in' with you, but still
You always came first, f** a telephone bill
If you needed, I'd steal or k**
Okay, maybe not k**
But maybe I will
I was for real when I said that I hated you
And I wish that I never had dated you
But we made it through, through the eye of the storm
With you on my arm, I would feel so warm
Me and you was like Kennedy and Marilyn
I could be your hero, you could be my h**ne
You could be my h**ne
Yeah, you could be my h**ne
Me and you, there again
You were my Marilyn
[Chorus]
Da da, dada, da da, da [4x]
[Verse 3]
First, we would listen to some music
Back before everything got so abusive
Listening to Hendrix, listening to Cobain
Me with you is like Seattle with no rain
No pain, no gain, oh well
I live for the nights that we spent in that motel
And you sung so well, keep singing
I could lie here forever, deep sleeping
Counting sheep and chasing the dragon
I don't even wanna get back on the wagon
I'm not bragging, but our love was the purest
Runs deep through my veins, but the surface
It wasn't perfect, and our last dance
Was the last chance, and that's that
Me and you, we ended up like Marilyn
I could be your hero, you could be my h**ne
[Chorus]
This song is dedicated to my cousin Gary, I miss you bro, rest in peace
