Now there are men who make history
There are men who change the world
And there are men like me
That simply find the right girl

In that very moment, it all became clear
What I'm meant to do, the reason I'm here
Now every night I thank the Lord I found ya
Every time I put my arms around ya

I feel, like the frame
That gets to hold the Mona Lisa
And I don't care
If that's all I'll ever be

It never fails, we walk in the room
Nobody sees me, they're all looking at you
I disappear, but that's fine with me
I feel the same way, you're all I can see

They've written books about Da Vinci's muse
I know it wasn't, but it shoulda been you

'Cause I feel, like the frame
That gets to hold the Mona Lisa
And I don't care
If that's all I'll ever be

Why don't we run off to Paris while we're still young
We can drink a little wine, have a little fun
I can tell you I love you, in a foreign tongue
We can work on our French, in more ways than one
I can take your hand, and we can walk in the Louvre
I can show 'em real beauty, let 'em get a load of you

'Cause I feel, like the frame
That gets to hold the Mona Lisa
And I don't care
If that's all I'll ever do

I feel, like the frame
That gets to hold the Mona Lisa
And I don't care
If that's all I'll ever do
