Mona Lisa - Slick Rick

I think she got what she wanted Waited a week before she even responded We had a couple friends in common when I met her Wasn't worried, but I should've been I think she knew what she was doing getting into my car Outside Amoeba Music or the standard bar Independent when I met her Now she's my only medicine When it gets quiet, I can hear her mind race She's staring at the ceiling like she's seeing outer space She could be the Mona Lisa if the Mona Lisa had a prettier face This could be Heaven if Heaven was an actual place (For the record) This is not what I wanted I wanted my heart to remain in my pocket She took it out and wrote her name right on it And now I'm only borrowing How come every time I leave,I can't breathe as deep? I'm always staying on the call while she falls asleep Might call it codependency, look at me Freezing while she's showering When it gets quiet, I can hear her mind race She's staring at the ceiling like she's seeing outer space She could be the Mona Lisa if the Mona Lisa had a prettier face This could be Heaven if Heaven was an actual place When it gets quiet, I can hear her mind race She's staring at the ceiling like she's seeing outer space She could be the Mona Lisa if the Mona Lisa had a prettier face This could be Heaven if Heaven was an actual place

I've always played the part of Shakespeare I hide behind the ink and pen I build up worlds and choose a savior (savior, savior) I write beginning, middle, end I'm so tired of being a book on the shelf Tired of stories for somebody else Think that I'm ready to start a new chapter I've been looking for some way to turn it around Looking for someone to give me the crown I wanna feel like I finally matter I wanna be a Mona Lisa, ah-ah The kind of girl that you can dream of, ah-ah And I always had the words, but I don't wanna say it Wish I could paint a smile on my face I wanna be a Mona Lisa So is there anybody out there Who could change my point of view? The way that Van Gogh uses yellow or the self in Frida Kahlo I could be that for you I'm so tired of being a book on the shelf Tired of stories for somebody else Think that I'm ready to start a new chapter (think I'm ready, baby) I've been looking for some way to turn it around Looking for someone to give me the crown I wanna feel like I finally matter I wanna be a Mona Lisa, ah-ah (I wanna be a Mona Lisa, baby) The kind of girl that you can dream of, ah-ah (the kinda girl that you can dream of maybe) And I always had the words but I don't wanna say it Wish I could paint a smile on my face I wanna be a Mona Lisa I think I'm ready for my close-up, baby There's nothing left to do, and nothing left to lose Let me be your muse (ah-ah) Ah-ah, I wanna be a Mona Lisa, baby, ah-ah Ah-ah, the kinda girl that you can dream of And I always had the words, but I don't wanna say it Wish I could paint a smile on my face I wanna be a Mona Lisa (ah-ah-ah) ah-ah
