Mona, you know you wander 

on the street corner

i should have warned you 

all of the boys and

all of their poisen 

they rob you blind



i knew your mother

god rest her soul

and where was your father, 

ya well nobody knows

you wish things were different

the hands you were given

just dont seem fair 

yah you playin with what you given

and your doing fine

ya but you try not to think about it 

most of the time

you just do what you have to 

to make sure you get through

yah but sometimes it hurts



singing mona 

you know you wander 

on the street corner 

i should have warned you

all of the boys and

all of their poisen

as they make there way 

ya to san jose



yah well your still so young

but you feel so old

its just the things you been through

that are making you cold

i think your going to turn soon

i gotta be careful with my moves

just might loose you for good

listen i can fight your demons 

cause id have to fight you

cause there so far inside you 

and i just cant seem to get through

it aint none of my business 

it aint none of my place

yah but i still had to try



singing mona 

you know you gonna 

on the street corner 

i should have warned you

all of the boys and

all of their poisen

as they make there way 

ya to san jose now



oh now i think ive lost you 

cant reach you no more

cause your high as i kite

and im down here on the floor

yah im begging you to come back

now you cant even hear that 

you just floated away

oh yah its such a shame

cause i remember the day 

when we use to play

on your mothers front lawn

singing those old songs

not a care in the world



oh im just singing

mona 

you know you wander 

on the street corner 

i know your gonna offer

all of the boys and

all of their poisen

as they make there way 

ya to san jose darling

yah to san jose now



singing mona 

you know you gonna 

on the street corner
