[Verse 1: The Kinks] Under a lamp light Monica stands at midnight And every guy think he can buy her love But money can't buy sweet lovin' from Monica [Hook] Morning to moonshine Monica knows every line Don't ever propose cause Monica knows, you know She'll turn up her nose and say what a fool you are I, I shall die I, I shall die if I should lose Monica (Oh Monica my love) People can try People can try, but they can't buy Monica, my love [Verse 2: The Kinks]
