a barefoot mona lisa with diesel in her hair
she was looking for a man who could understand where she to be and he'll hold
her there
she took all the money her folks gave her for the senior cruise
she was hoping to find someone with the time
to help her lose all these don'ts and do's

once in a while, isabelle, tell me the story you know so well
that only you can tell with your smile
in your eyes it's hard to tell if it's heaven or if it's hell
but could you love me, isabelle, once in a while

she was something kinda special, with a mind of her own
she could give the time or she could leave you behind
you'd look around and she'd be gone
she lost her soul in a phone booth trying to make a call
all the promises made and the hopes betrayed they all fade away like the
numbers on the wall
once in a while, isabelle, tell me the story you know so well
that only you can tell with your smile
in your eyes it's hard to tell if it's heaven or if it's hell
but could you love me, isabelle, once in a while
