Mona Lisa
She couldn’t sleep she went down to the kitchenGrabbed paper and pencil, ate leftover chickenShe wrote down a poem that was mildly eroticTucked it under my pillow and went back to bedAnd it’s so damn cold out there’s nothing to doBut she’s lying there reading her book in the nudeAnd something smells perfect, a pie or a cakeSome kind of pasta I cannot even pronounce the nameAnd you don’t kick the Mona Lisa out of bed for eating crackersDon’t you dare cry just because the roses have thornsDamn those old sayings my dad used just to annoy meBut isn’t it funny how they all hit the nail on the headInnocent quips and stupid suggestionsNever do much to answer my questionsBut a look in her eyes and I get the meaningShe sets it all straight in my head without even speakingEveryone said hold her and don’t let her goBut she started to squirm after an hour or soShe said don’t get all crazy we’re here to the endI get happy I get mad I get sad, I get happy againAnd you don’t kick the Mona Lisa out of bed for eating crackersDon’t you dare cry just because the roses have thornsDamn those old sayings my dad used just to annoy meBut isn’t it funny how they all hit the nail on the headIsn’t it funny how they all hit the nail on the head
