(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
