Monkey Lyrics - Nylons

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
