You've stripped me down, the layers fall like rain It's over now, just innocence and instinct still remain You watched me while I slowly disappeared I reached for you to save me, you were frozen in your fear Take it all away Take it all away Take it all away Take it all away Circling the pain inside my soul I reached inside your silence to steal what you won't show I tried to find the answers in my fears But what was found is lost again as soon as it appeared Take it all away Take it all away Take it all away Take it all away I'm breaking I can't do this on my own Can you hear me screaming out? Am I all alone? You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away You take away

Well Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa men have named you You're so like the lady with the mystic smile Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have named you For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile Well, it 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? Well in a Villa in a little old Italian town Lives a girl whose beauty shames the rose Many yearn to love her but their hopes all tumble down What does she want I guess nobody knows 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?

Hello darling, happy birthday I've decided not to give you a present this year In fact I think it's about time I took some things away. I'd like to take away the suspicion That I know clouds your world at times By giving you some faith to hold on to, honey Whenever your hand is not in mine. Happy birthday darling, I've no present, no fancy cake But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take. I'd like to take away some of your lonely moments By spending more time with you And I'd like to take away some of those so, so kisses And replace them with ones that really say, I love you. And I want to take away the doubt You sometimes have about my love By showing it more, much more than I've shown you lately And then if someone should ask you What I got you for your birthday Well you can say, why he didn't give me anything But he sure took a lot of things away. Happy birthday darling I've no present, no fancy cake But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take. Happy birthday darling I've no present, no fancy cake But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take. Happy birthday, darling...
