Lyrics

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 esctasy)
At least thats how I thought it would be
(So Neville brothers what you telling me)
Atleast 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 we can 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
Atleast that's how I thought it would be
Atleast that's how I thought it would be
(Yo, Neville brothers. What was her name)
At least thats how I thought it would be
(So Neville brothers what you telling me)
Atleast 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 we can 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)
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
