Lyrics Monkey - George Michael

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, ah yeah, yeah, la-la)

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 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, ah yeah, yeah, la-la)

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 to 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 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, ah yeah, yeah, la-la)

Don't look now, there's a monkey on your back
Don't look now, there's a monkey on ya
Don't look now, there's a monkey on your back
Don't look now, there's a monkey on ya

So you tell me that you won't do anymore
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? (Monkey)
With a monkey? (Monkey, ah yeah, yeah, la-la)

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, ah yeah, yeah, la-la)
