Why can`t you do it?
Why can`t you set your monkey free?
Always giving into 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 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...
