Monkey Lyrics - Julia Holter

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? 

Monkey with a monkey monkey 

La la la 

Oh, I count to ten 

But I don't know how 

And I don't know when 

To open my eyes 

Baby if you kiss me again 

Like you did just now 

Like you did just then 

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 asking baby, maybe 

I'll get what I'm asking 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? 

Monkey, with a monkey, monkey 

La la la 

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? 

Monkey, with a monkey, monkey 

La la la 

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 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? 

Monkey, with a monkey, monkey 

La la la 

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? 

Monkey, with a monkey, monkey 

La la la
