Lyrics and Music by Madonna, Julie Frost, Jimmy Harry
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.
Chorus:
And I’m right by your side,
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front
Of the 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…
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.
Chorus:
And I’m right by your side,
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front
Of the Masterpiece.
And I can’t tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with
A Masterpiece (Masterpiece).
‘Cause after all
Nothing’s indestructible,
Nothing’s indestructible,
Nothing’s indestructible,
Nothing’s indestructible…
And I’m right by your side,
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front
Of the Masterpiece.
And I can’t tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with
A Masterpiece.
And I’m right by your side,
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front
Of the Masterpiece.
And I can’t tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with
A Masterpiece (Masterpiece).
‘Cause after all
Nothing’s indestructible,
‘Cause after all
Nothing’s indestructible…
