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 shelfMona 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 tightYou 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 shelfMona 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 tightIn the midnight hourFix 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 stoutDon'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 pearlsMona 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 tightMona 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
