Text: Wyclef Jean. The Carnival. Mona Lisa.
Yo, Mona Lisa, could I get a date on Friday
And if you're 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, you have a little hooptie
(Yo, Mona Lisa)
I still want you to crank up your volume
(Yo, Mona Lisa)
We want all the ladies to sit back, relax, let your hair out
(Yo, Mona Lisa)
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 us 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's how I thought it would be
(One question, what was her name?)
Mona Lisa, you called my name
(Yo, Mona Lisa)
Laid it apart but I did not respond
(Mona Lisa)
And you ask me what I'm thinking of
In the morning I'll be gone, no more loving after dawn
(After dawn)
No longer can we share the love that was never there
When the moon has lost its light
(Lost its light)
And the stars are no longer bright, yeah
(No longer bright)
No longer can we share the love that was never there
(Ain't no need to cry girl, it's 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)
[Incomprehensible]
I hope the future brings us back together
At least that's how I thought it would be
(Aha, aha, aha)
At least that's how I thought it would be
(Yo, Neville Brothers, what was her name?)
Mona Lisa, you called my name
(Yo, Mona Lisa)
Laid it apart but I did not respond
(Mona Lisa)
And you ask me what I am thinking of
In the morning I'll be gone, no more loving after dawn
(After dawn)
No longer can we share the love that was never there
When the moon has lost its light
(Lost its light)
And the stars are no longer bright, yeah
No longer can we share the love that was never there
Right about now, if you are in the dance
I want you to hold your girl real tight
We got the Neville Brothers in the house tonight alongside Wyclef
You know how we do it, I want to apologize to you
I never wrote a love song, this is my first one
Mona Lisa
