Lyrics

Standin’ on the corner
She’s waitin' for her ride to come
Yeah her bags are packed, ain’t lookin’ back
She’s on her way to Hollywood
Something grabbed a hold of her
And told her there was something more
Gotta get out of this sleepy town
Find out who you really are

Oh, Marilyn
Time is a wastin’
Time is a wastin’

Ooh...the future's wide open
Watch her go

Dropped her off at Fairfax
Became herself a waitress girl
Like ninety thousand others
Just waitin' for her chance to come
Well, something took a hold of her
And told her there was something more...something more
Better get out of this diner girl
And get yourself an audition

Oh, Marilyn
Time is a wastin’
Time is a wastin’
Don’t you know?
Time is a wastin’
Oh yeah
Time is a wastin’
Don’t you know?

Yeah, don't you know?

Oh, Marilyn
Time is a wastin’
You've been waitin' for so long
Time is a wastin'
As the clock keeps tickin' on girl
Time is a wastin'
You'll find where you belong
Time is a wastin'
Don't you know?

It was twenty years later
And all the kids were on their own
Fame had passed her over
But she had found her own fortune
Light came fallin’ all around
Her mama’s voice was all she heard
Better get out of this plastic town
And get yourself back on home
Oh, Marilyn
