You told me you love me

But then you leave me alone

See I don't want to be searching

Like some dog for a bone

You told me you love me

Yes you told me yourself

So why don't you put me baby

Right back on the shelf

Mona please won't you be my baby

Mona won't you be my baby tonight

Mona darling are you driving me crazy

Hold me close and darling won't you hold me tight

You told me you love me

But then you leave me alone

See I don't want to be searching

Like some dog for a bone

You told me you love me

Yes you told me yourself

So why don't you put me baby

Right back on the shelf

Mona please won't you be my baby

Mona won't you be my baby tonight

Mona darling are you driving me crazy

Hold me close and darling won't you hold me tight

In the midnight hour

Fix your mouth before I carry you out

You better run fast from a man that drinks stout

Fix your mouth before I carry you out

You better run fast from a man that drinks stout

Don't you know that I love you baby

Don't you know that I love you girl

I would have given you my heart gladly

Along with diamonds, rubies and pearls

Mona please won't you be my baby

Mona won't you be my baby tonight

Mona darling are you driving me crazy

Hold me close and darling won't you hold me tight

Mona please won't you be my baby

Mona won't you be my baby tonight

Mona darling are you driving me crazy

Hold me close and darling won't you hold me tight
