The lyrics to MBLAQ's song Mona Lisa speak of the uncertainty that comes with love. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus signal a potential focus on positive feelings, but the verses tell a different story. The opening lines call for the listeners to participate, but the following lines indicate a plea for a lover's positive response. The lyrics say, "Baby say yeah yeah yeah yes, Don't say no no no no, Even if I can't take my eyes off you, I can't have you, do do do." Here, the singer is expressing a desire for love but is met with rejection. Furthermore, the chorus, which repeats the phrase "I know, I know, I know, I know," over and over again, emphasizes the singer's feelings of uncertainty and confusion. Despite this, the singer asks the object of his affection to say yes and not to leave him.
In the bridge, the lyrics focus on the depth of the singer's feeling for the other person. The lines say, "I want you, even if I can’t have you, I want you." They indicate a strong desire, a longing that overrides the singer's need to be accepted. The final lines of the song, "Baby say yes, baby say yes, I am looking at you, who makes me go crazy," sum up the singer's love and desire for the other person. Overall, Mona Lisa is a song about the thrill and fear of falling in love, and the uncertainty that comes with it.

Raise my hand xDDDD
@mikkorajakangas5303
... I suddenly feel really, really old. This song is almost too new to me, and kind of signalling the last moments of an era where I still found new K-pop releases enjoyable...
@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...
