George Michael - Monkey lyrics

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?

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 the 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 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 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?

Don't look now

There's a monkey on your back

Don't look now

There's a monkey on you...
