(Chorus:)

Why can't you do it

Why can't you set your monkey free

Always giving in to 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

With a monkey



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

Just then, just then, just, just, just do it again

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





(Chorus)





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

Back then, back then, just, just, just do it again

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





(Chorus)





Don't look now there's a monkey on your back

Don't look now there's a monkey on your

Don't look now there's a monkey on your back

Don't look now there's a monkey on your





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





(Chorus)
