Why cant you do it?
Why cant you set your monkey free?
Always giving into it -
Do you love your monkey or do you love me?
Why cant you do it
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
Oh, I count to ten
But I dont know how and I dont know when
To open my eyes
If you kiss me again
Like you did just now, like you did just then
Ive had the rest
Now its time I had the best
So you tell me that you wont do anymore
Well Id write your heart a letter
But I think you know me better
If I keep on askin baby, maybe
Ill get what Im askin for
Why cant you do it?
Why cant you set your monkey free?
Always giving in to it -
Do you love your monkey or do you love me?
Why cant you do it
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
Oh I hate your friends
But I dont know how and I dont know when
To open your eyes
Yes the monkeys 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 dont want you anymore
Well you say you care about me
That you just cant do without me
But you keep on dancin baby
til that monkey has you on the floor
Why cant you do it?
Why cant you set your monkey free?
Always giving into it
Do you love the monkey or do you love me?
Why cant you do it
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
Dont look now
Theres a monkey on your back
Dont look now
Theres a monkey on you...
