Bette Midler - One Monkey Don'T Stop No Show lyrics

My baby jumped up this morning,

sat on the side of the bed.

He said, "I`m leaving you, baby."

And this is just what I said.

I said, "I can`t make you stay if you want to go,

but it`s high time, baby, that you should know,

one monkey don`t stop no show.

One monkey don`t stop no show.

So, if you still wanna go, go ahead,

and I mean every word I said."

My baby thought I was jivin`

and he went right out the door.

He left me about three in the morning.

I got me a man at four.

Some women cry when their men bleed them

dry, long and slow,

but I found out somethin` a long time ago.

One monkey don`t stop no show.

One monkey don`t stop no show.

So if he gets too big for his pants

you better spring that new one and give him a chance.

I used to be chicken hearted;

cry when he`d walk out the door,

`cause I was just young and stupid.

Ha! Ain`t like that no more.

`Cause I had a hard way to go,

but I learned the score.

And I`m here to tell you,

and I should know,

one monkey don`t stop no show.

One monkey don`t stop no show.

And let him do anything he choose.

There`s a million men who can fill his shoes.

One monkey don`t stop no show.

One monkey don`t stop no show.

One monkey don`t stop no show.

You can tell him I told you so
