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
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 any more
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?
I tried my best
but your head is
such a mess
so I guess that I don't
want you any more
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 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 any more
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?
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?
