I know this girl Monica 

she's from Santa Monica

or somewhere from down there

She moved up here recently 

and is very friendly

I feel special when she's near



YOU POOR MONICA,

I FEEL BAD WHEN YOU'RE SAD 

AND YOU THINK THAT NOTHING'S WORKING OUT 

MY DEAR MONICA, I'M REALLY GLAD, 

WHEN YOU SEEM TO BE HAPPY AND A SMILES ON YOUR FACE 



You think you've seen a smile

You haven't seen this girl's 

there's nothing like it in the world

She seems to be down a lot

It brings me down a lot

but quickly passes with a smile 



YOU POOR MONICA, 

I FEEL BAD WHEN YOU'RE SAD

AND YOU THINK THAT NOTHING'S WORKING OUT

MY DEAR MONICA, I'M REALLY GLAD, 

WHEN YOU SEEM TO BE HAPPY AND A SMILES ON YOUR FACE 



If you ever get the chance You should spend some time with her 

You could learn more about yourself 

About this girl Monica 

You gotta be careful 

You'll find it hard to keep your heart
