Yo Mona Lisa, could I get a date on Friday
And if your busy, I wouldn’t mind taking Saturday
Right about now, if you are in your jeep, please turn up your radio
If you don’t have a Jeep, and you have a little hooptie I still want
You to crank up your volume
We want all the ladies to sit back, relax, let your hair out
Wyclef presents the Neville Brothers in the house tonight
I know a girl, she ruled my world
Whatever I need, she supplied
Living in paradise
She ruled my heart, till death do we part
(Her love was like ecstasy)
At least that’s how I thought it would be
(So Neville brothers what you telling me)
At least that how I thought it would be
(One question, what was her name)
Mona Lisa, you called my name
Laid it apart but I did not respond
And you ask me what I am thinking of
In the morning I’ll be gone, no more loving after dawn
No longer can we share the love that was never there
When the moon has lost its light
And the stars no longer bright
And no longer can we share, the love that was never there
(Ain’t no need to cry girl, its gonna be alright)
Girl don’t you cry
(Girl don’t you cry)
Please dry your eyes
All you ever been was faithful in my life
So I apologize
I hope the future brings us back together
At least that’s how I thought it would be
(Yo, Neville brothers, what was her name)
Mona Lisa, you called my name
Laid it apart but I did not respond
And you ask me what I am thinking of
In the morning I’ll be gone, no more loving after dawn
No longer we can share the love that was never there
When the moon has lost its light
And the stars no longer bright
No longer can we share, the love that was never there
Right about now if you are in dance
I want you to hold your girl real tight
We got the Neville brothers in the house tonight
Along side Wyclef, you know how we do it
I want to apologize to you
I never wrote a love song
This is my first one
