  • Different, oh yeah, yeah
    This one goes out to all the lovers
    What can we do? We're helpless romantics
    We can not help who we're attracted to
    So let's all dance, and elevate each other

    Dear diary, it's happenin' again
    This energy, like I'm 'bout to win
    I just close my eyes and visions appear
    She's everything I want, and it's crystal clear
    Not even Marilyn Monroe
    Who Cleopatra please
    Not even Joan of Arc
    That don't mean nothin' to me
    I just want a different girl
    Girl, girl, girl, girl
    Girl, girl, can't another good boy keep it this thorough

    Why, why do I have to lie
    Pretend, make believe or hide her?
    When I love what I've described
    But then again, I don't need no adjectives for this girl

    Dear diary, it's happenin' again
    This energy, like I'm 'bout to win
    I just close my eyes and visions appear
    She's everything I want, and it's crystal clear
    Not even Marilyn Monroe
    Who Cleopatra please
    Not even Joan of Arc
    That don't mean nothin' to me
    I just want a different girl
    Girl, girl, girl, girl
    Girl, girl, girl, don't girl
    Girl, girl, girl, girl
    Girl, girl, can't another good boy keep it this thorough

    Dear diary, it's happenin' again
    This energy, like I'm 'bout to win
    I just close my eyes and visions appear
    She's everything I want, and it's crystal clear
    Not even Marilyn Monroe
    Who Cleopatra please
    Not even Joan of Arc
    That don't mean nothin' to me
    I just want a different girl

    What's wrong with that? Yeh
    What's wrong with that?
    What's wrong with that?

    In honor of the groove and all who's surrendered to it
    We say thank you, and we take it back

    We're so hard, I was so hard that they can't chew
    Then my lucky star, I guess you came from behind the moon
    I put my arms around her, and I promise not to abuse you
    Since now I found you, why the hell would I want to lose you?

    Dear diary, it's happenin' again
    This energy, like I'm 'bout to win
    I just close my eyes and visions appear
    She's everything I want, and it's crystal clear
    Not even Marilyn Monroe
    Who Cleopatra please
    Not even Joan of Arc
    That don't mean nothin' to me
    I just want a different girl
    Girl, girl, girl, girl
    Girl, girl, girl, don't girl
    Girl, girl, girl, girl
    Girl, girl, can't another good boy keep it this thorough Writer/s: Anne Marie Calhoun, Hans Zimmer, Mike Einzinger, Pharrell Williams
