Marilyn Monroe
Pharrell Williams Lyrics

Different, oh yeah, yeah
We are all unique individuals, and that's something to celebrate.

This one goes out to all the lovers
This song is dedicated to those who love and those who are loved.

What can we do? We're helpless romantics
We can't help but be attracted to the ones we love, even if it's not practical or logical.

We can not help who we're attracted to
Our feelings and attractions are beyond our control.

So let's all dance, and elevate each other
Let's celebrate love and happiness together through dance and music.

Dear diary, it's happenin' again
The singer is expressing his emotions through writing and is experiencing intense feelings of love once again.

This energy, like I'm 'bout to win
The singer is feeling empowered and confident, as if he's about to achieve something great.

She's everything I want, and it's crystal clear
The person he loves possesses all the qualities he desires in a partner, and he has a clear vision of what he wants in a relationship.

Not even Marilyn Monroe
Even the most famous and idolized women in history cannot compare to the person he's in love with.

Who Cleopatra please
Even Cleopatra, one of the most powerful and iconic queens in history, is not as important to him as the person he loves.

Not even Joan of Arc
Even Joan of Arc, who fought for her beliefs and became a symbol of courage and resilience, doesn't hold a candle to his love.

That don't mean nothin' to me
Their accomplishments and fame are insignificant in comparison to the love he feels.

I just want a different girl
He desires someone unique and special, someone who stands out from the crowd.

Why, why do I have to lie
He's frustrated with having to hide his true feelings or pretend to feel differently than he does.

Pretend, make believe or hide her?
He's questioning whether he should keep his love hidden or reveal it to the world.

When I love what I've described
He knows what he feels and is confident in his love, despite the challenges he may face.

But then again, I don't need no adjectives for this girl
He doesn't need words to describe his love, as she's already perfect in his eyes.

What's wrong with that? Yeh
He sees nothing wrong with loving someone who may not fit societal norms or expectations.

In honor of the groove and all who's surrendered to it
He's celebrating the power of music and dance to bring people together and express themselves.

We say thank you, and we take it back
He's thanking the universe for his love and recognizing that he doesn't want to take anything for granted.

We're so hard, I was so hard that they can't chew
He and his love are strong and resilient, and others may find it difficult to break them apart.

Then my lucky star, I guess you came from behind the moon
He feels lucky to have found someone so perfect for him, almost as if it was fate.

I put my arms around her, and I promise not to abuse you
He promises to treat his love with respect and kindness, and not to take her for granted.

Since now I found you, why the hell would I want to lose you?
Now that he's found the person he loves, he realizes how much she means to him and doesn't want to lose her.

Girl, girl, girl, girl
He's emphasizing the importance of the girl he loves, and how she stands out from everyone else.

Girl, girl, girl, don't girl
He's pleading with other women not to interfere with his love, as she's the only one he wants.

Girl, girl, girl, girl
He's repeating the importance of the girl he loves, as she's always on his mind.

Girl, girl, can't another good boy keep it this thorough
He's asking if anyone else can love the way he does, with the same intensity and devotion.
