Mona Lisa
Rufugee Allstars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if your busy, I wouldn't mind taking Saturday
Right about now, if you are in your jeep, please turn up your radio
If you don't have a Jeep, and you have a little hooptie I still want
You to crank up your volume
We want all the ladies to sit back, relax, let your hair out
Wyclef presents the Neville Brothers in the house tonight
I know a girl, she ruled my world
Whatever I need, she supplied
Living in paradise
She ruled my heart, till death do we part
(Her love was like ecstasy)
At least that's how I thought it would be
(So Neville brothers what you telling me)
At least that how I thought it would be
(One question, what was her name)
Mona Lisa, you called my name
Laid it apart but I did not respond
And you ask me what I am thinking of
In the morning I'll be gone, no more loving after dawn
No longer can we share the love that was never there
When the moon has lost its light
And the stars no longer bright
And no longer can we share, the love that was never there
(Ain't no need to cry girl, its gonna be alright)
Girl don't you cry
(Girl don't you cry)
Please dry your eyes
All you ever been was faithful in my life
So I apologize
I hope the future brings us back together
At least that's how I thought it would be
(Yo, Neville brothers, what was her name)
Mona Lisa, you called my name
Laid it apart but I did not respond
And you ask me what I am thinking of
In the morning I'll be gone, no more loving after dawn
No longer we can share the love that was never there
When the moon has lost its light
And the stars no longer bright
No longer can we share, the love that was never there
Right about now if you are in dance
I want you to hold your girl real tight
We got the Neville brothers in the house tonight
Along side Wyclef, you know how we do it
I want to apologize to you
I never wrote a love song
This is my first one
The lyrics to Mona Lisa by Refugee Allstars explore the story of a man who lost love from a woman named Mona Lisa, but he never responded when she called him. The first two lines of the song serve as an invitation, where the man asks her out on a date. The rest of the song is a conversation with the Neville Brothers, where he describes the love he had with her before things came to an end. He talked about how she supplied everything he needed, and how her love was like ecstasy. However, he never responded when she called his name, and now there is no more loving after dawn.
Through the lyrics, the story takes a sad turn, where the woman asks him what he is thinking, but he is never coming back. The song ends with the man apologizing on how he never wrote a love song, and this song was his first. The song was well received, and many people identified with the emotions portrayed in the song.
Overall, the song served as a reminder of the importance of communication, and how the failure to respond can sometimes result in a loss of love. It also highlights how sometimes an apology is all that is needed when things do not work out.
