Butch Walker - The Ballad of Mona Lisa lyrics

[Verse 1] She paints her fingers with a close precision He starts to notice empty bottles of gin And takes a moment to a**ess the sin she's paid for A lonely speaker in a conversation Her words are swimming through his ears again There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for [Pre-Chorus] Say what you mean, tell me I'm right And let the sun rain down on me Give me a sign, I want to believe [Chorus] Whoa, Mona Lisa You're guaranteed to run this town Whoa, Mona Lisa I'd pay to see you frown [Verse 2] He senses something, call it desperation Another dollar, another day And if she had the proper words to say, she would tell him But she'd have nothing left to sell him [Pre-Chorus] Say what you mean, tell me I'm right And let the sun rain down on me Give me a sign, I want to believe [Chorus] Whoa, Mona Lisa You're guaranteed to run this town Whoa, Mona Lisa I'd pay to see you frown [Bridge] Mona Lisa, wear me out I'm pleased to please ya Mona Lisa, wear me out [Pre-Chorus] Say what you mean, tell me I'm right And let the sun rain down on me Give me a sign, I want to believe [Chorus] Whoa, Mona Lisa You're guaranteed to run this town Whoa, Mona Lisa I'd pay to see you frown [Pre-Chorus] Say what you mean, tell me I'm right And let the sun rain down on me Give me a sign, I want to believe [Outro] There's nothing wrong with just a taste Of what you've paid for
