Har försökt att fånga bilden jag vill ha av dig
Fast bliderna är många har ingen av dom lyckats mej
Bilderna saknar ju skärpa och stil
Och gör inte rätt visa åt din profil
En tanke når mig långt ifrån
Jag slår mig ner vid min telefon

Michelangelo kan du svara på
Hur du gjorde dom alla tavlor som blev historia sen
Michelangelo men så svara då
Kan du komma hit och ta med stafilt och måla av min vän
Ohh

Om han kunde visa hela världen hur du ler
Så skulle mona-lisa be om att få plockas ner
Ohh

Du skulle ta henne plats som legend
Med fräknar på näsan blev du lika känd
Som mästaren nån stans ifrån
Var snäll och svara I telefon

Michelangelo kan du svara på
Hur du gjorde dom alla tavlor som blev historia sen
Michelangelo men så svara då
Kan du komma hit och ta med staflit och måla av min vän
Ohhh

Yhea yhea ohh
Du skulle ta hennes plats som legend
Med fräknar på näsan blev du lika känd
Som mästaren nån stans ifrån
Var snäll och svara I telefon

Michelangelo men så svara då
Michelangelo men men men så svara då

Mi-I-I-I-ichelangelo men men så svara då
Mi-I-I-I-ichelangelo men men så svara då
Mi-I-I-I-ichelangelo men men så svara
