Why can't you do it
Why can't you
set your monkey free
Always givin' 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
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 givin' 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
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 givin' 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 you
Don't look now
There's a monkey
on your back
Don't look now
There's a monkey on you
So you tell me that
you won't do anymore
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 givin' 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
Why can't you do it
Why can't you
set your monkey free
Always givin' 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
