The chorus of MBLAQ's song Mona Lisa repeats the phrase "baby say yes" several times, interspersed with Korean-language verses that describe the singer's longing for a woman who seems unattainable. The lyrics plead with the subject of the song to say yes to the singer's advances, even though the singer knows that the woman is beyond his reach. The song's title refers to the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci and uses the image of a beautiful and enigmatic woman as a metaphor for the object of the singer's desire.
The first verse of the song expresses the singer's frustration with the woman's lack of response to his advances: "I can't take my eyes off you, but you don't see me at all / I call out to you, but you don't answer, oh Mona Lisa." The second verse asks why the woman is so unattainable, even though she seems to be interested in the singer: "Why do you look at me like that? Where are you going? You're like Mona Lisa, with no answer." The chorus repeats the plea for the woman to say yes and acknowledge the singer's feelings.

@salmawu8627
The fact that New kpop fans don't know the existence of this masterpiece 😔😔
@tochagurl2799
Right, they don’t even know the existence of this group
@Mooniestarry
"EVERYBODY ON THE LEFT EVERYBODY ON THE RIGHT EVERYBODY EVERYBODY IN THE HOUSE SAY LA LA LA LA!" Such a jam! I miss MBLAQ. Here in 2020!
@giovanagorniack9585
I bothered my mom so much singing this part of the song, that in the end she just told me to just sing whispering. I miss those days...
