Lyrics
WAITER: Mademoiselle?
DOROTHY SHAW: Cafe.
[Jane Russell as DOROTHY SHAW singing]
When love goes wrong /
 Nothing goes right / This one thing I know.
[Marilyn Monroe as LORELEI LEE singing]
When love goes wrong
/ A man takes flight
[Jane Russell]
And women get uppity-oh
[Marilyn Monroe]
The sun don't beam
/ The moon don't shine
/ The tide don't ebb and flow
[Jane Russell]
A clock won't strike
/ A match won't light
[Both]
When love goes wrong
/ Nothing goes right
[Jane Russell]
 The blues all gather round you,
[Marilyn Monroe]
And day is dark as night
/ A man ain't fit to live with
[Jane Russell]
And a woman's sorry sight
[Chorus]
 When love goes wrong / Nothing goes right
DOROTHY SHAW: Do it, honey! Do it!
[Chorus]
When love goes wrong
/ Nothing goes, nothing goes right
[Jane Russell]
When love goes wrong
/ Nothing goes right
[Marilyn Monroe]
Bees don't buzz, fish don't bite
[Both]
 Clock won't strike, match won't light
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
[Jane Russell]
A woman's a fright, a terrible sight
[Marilyn Monroe]
Man goes out, gets high as a kite
[Both]
Love is something you can't fight
DOROTHY SHAW: You can't fight it, honey.
[Both]
When love goes wrong, nothing
DOROTHY SHAW: No bows, honey, just eight bars and off. [Both] Nothing goes right DOROTHY SHAW: Just in time. [Both] It's like we said / You're better off dead / When love has lost its glow / So take this down / In black and white / When love goes wrong / Nothing goes right Pictures from video Note: To view in high resolution, click on them When told she was not the star of the film, Marilyn Monroe was quoted: "Well whatever I am, I'm still the blonde." In her very last interview, (10 years after making "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,") Marilyn Monroe recalls the lack of respect studio execs had for her, but makes a point of mentioning co-star, Jane Russell: "I remember when I got the part in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Jane Russell, she was the brunette in it and I was the blond. She got $200,000 for it, and I got my $500 a week, but that to me was, you know, considerable. She by the way, was quite wonderful to me." For this film Gwen Verdon coached stars Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe in both their dance and walk - Monroe with less sex, Russell with more. It's rumored that at one point in the film, Verdon dubs both Monroe's and Russell's swaying bottoms. QUOTES LORELEI LEE: I hate to think where you'll wind up. You're wasting time on unrefined persons without money. DOROTHY SHAW: Did it occur to you thatsome people don't care about money? LORELEI LEE: Don't be silly. We're talking serious. Do you want a loveless marriage? DOROTHY SHAW: Me, loveless? LORELEI LEE: If a girl spends time worrying about the money she doesn't have, how will she have any time for love? DOROTHY SHAW: I hope you're my friend. I love to have handsome gentlemen be my friends. LORELEI LEE: Why did you just stand there and let him kiss you? DOROTHY SHAW: It's crazy, but I think I'm falling in love with that slob. LORELEI LEE: You just feel that way because he's poor. DOROTHY SHAW: I hope so. GUS ESMOND: Aren't you even gonna say you're sorry? LORELEI LEE: I won't fall in love with a man who won't trust me, no matter what I do.
