Hey, hey Mona

Hey, hey Mona
Won't you lend me your smile
I've been walking
round this phony town
And I can only
Fake it for a while

I see behind your lashes
Are the ashes
Of a love gone astray
In my mouth there's a sour taste
that I can't betray

Move out of that picture frame
I'm coming on in your way
I've got to make an appearance
They're all expecting me today

Hey, hey Mona
Won't you lend me your smile
I've been falling over myself
Mile after mile
The road is long and a heavy
load is on my back
Just touch me with your beauty
And I promise to keep on track

Hey, hey Mona
I've got the keys
Now your jailer is asleep
I promise to set you free
Just give me this one thing
That I am asking for
Flash me that smile of yours
Before you run out the door

Hey, hey Mona
Blood in my mouth
One tooth is broken
And all the moneys going south
Even you hanging up there
Are falling apart
Just lend to me your smile
And it'll mend my broken heart
