Monkey

Why can't you do it? 
Why can't you set your monkey free? 
Always giving in to it - 
Do you love your monkey or do you love me? 
Why can't you do it? 
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey? 
(With a monkey, with a monkey, aye, aye, aye, uh-huh)

Oh, I count to ten 
But I don't know how and I don't know when 
To open my eyes 
If you kiss me again
Like you did just now, like you did just then 
I've had the rest, now it's time I had the best 
So you tell me that you won't do anymore 

Well I'd write your heart a letter 
But I think you know me better 
If I keep on askin' baby, maybe I'll get what I'm askin' for 

Why can't you do it? Why can't you set your monkey free? 
Always giving in to it - 
Do you love your monkey or do you love me? 
Why can't you do it? 
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey? 

Oh I hate your friends 
But I don't know how and I don't know when 
To open your eyes 
Yes the monkey's back again 
Do you want him now like you did back then? 

I tried my best, but your head is such a mess 
So I guess that I don't want you anymore 
Well you say you care about me 
That you just can't do without me 
But you keep on dancin' baby 
'Til that monkey has you on the floor 

Why can't you do it? Why can't you set your monkey free? 
Always giving into it 
Do you love the monkey or do you love me? 
Why can't you do it 
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey? 

Don't look now 
There's a monkey on your back 
Don't look now 
There's a monkey on you...
