If you were the Mona Lisa You'd be hanging in the Louvre Everyone would come to see you You'd be impossible to move It seems to me that's what you are A rare and priceless work of art You stay behind your velvet rope But I will not renounce all hope
And I'm right by your side Like a thief in the night I stand in front of a masterpiece And I can't tell you why It hurts so much To be in love with the masterpiece 'Cause after all Nothing's indestructible
From the moment I first saw you All the darkness turned to white An impressionistic painting Tiny particles of light It seems to me that's what you're like The "look but please don't touch me" type And honestly it can't be fun To always be the chosen one
And I'm right by your side Like a thief in the night I stand in front of a masterpiece And I can't tell you why It hurts so much To be in love with a masterpiece 'Cause after all Nothing's indestructible
