The Nylons - Monkey lyrics

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 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 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 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 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 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
