Better watch out
Baby, who's that
Don't look now
There's a monkey on your back
Watch out
Baby, who's that
Don't look now
There's a monkey on your
Watch out
Baby, who's that
Don't look now
There's a monkey on your back
Watch out
Baby, who's that, that

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

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 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

Oh, I hate your friends
But I don't know how and I don't know when
To open your eyes
Yes, your monkey's back again
Do you want him now like you did back then
Don't 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
'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

Why can't you do it
