Mona Lisa

(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans)



Well, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa men have named you

You're so like a lady with a mystic smile

Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have named you

For that Mona Lisa strain that's in your smile



Well, is your smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa

Or is this your way to hide a broken heart

Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep

They just lie there, and they die there

Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa,

Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art



--- Instrumental ---



Well, in a villa, in the little old Italian town

Lives a girl who's beauty changed the rogue

And he yearned to love her but their hopes all tumbled down

What does she want, I guess nobody knows



Well, is your smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa

Or is this your way to hide a broken heart

Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa

Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art



Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art

Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art...
