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
Till 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
