Mona, you know you gonna on the street corner, but I shoulda warned you.
All of the boys and all of their poison, well they'll rob you blind.
And I knew your mother, well God rest her soul. And where was your father? Yeah, well nobody knows.
You wish things were different. The hand were given - it just don't seem fair.
And you play with what you're given, and you're doin' fine. 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. Yeah, but sometimes it hurts...
Singin', Mona, you know you gonna on the street corner, but I shoulda warned you. All of the boys and all of their poison as they make their way, yeah, to San Jose.
Yeah, and you're still so young. But you feel so old. Just the things that you've been through that are making you cold. And I think you're gonna turn soon, gotta be careful with my moves - just might lose you for good.
Yes, and I can't fight your demons, cause I'd have to fight you. Yeah, they're so far inside you. And I just can't seem to get through. It ain't none of my business, it ain't none of my place, yeah, but I still had to try.
Singin', Mona, you know you gonna on the street corner, but I shoulda warned you. All of the boys and all of their poison as they make their way, yeah, to San Jose.
Oh now I think I've lost you, can't reach you anymore. Cause you're high as a kite, and I'm down here on the floor. And I'm begging you to come back, but you can't even hear that, just floating away.
Oh, yeah, its such a shame, cause I remember the days of the sunshine and rain, yeah, and we used to play on your mother's front lawn singin' those old songs, without a care in the world.
Just singin, Mona, you know you gonna on the street corner, but I shoulda warned you. All of the boys and all of their poison as they make their way, yeah, to San Jose.
Yeah, to San Jose.
