Monkey Man Songtext
von The Smithereens

I try to mind my own business
I never doubt what I see
I never ask you no questions
I try to live and let be

I try to roll with the punches
I try to ease up the fall
But when they monkey man calls me
I ain′t worth nothing at all

Baby, baby
Can't see you today
Monkey, monkey
Just won′t go away

I want to lead a good life
I want to live my life free
But when the monkey's around
Am I your worst enemy?


I try to roll with the punches
I try to ease up the fall
But when they monkey man calls me
I ain't worth nothing at all
Let me tell you ′bout it

Baby, baby
Can′t see you today
Monkey, monkey
Monkey's here to stay

Don′t try to tell me that it's easy to gettin′ rid of my friends
It keeps me hangin' on singin′ a song
Stickin' with me right 'til the end, yeah

Monkey, monkey

Don′t try to tell me that it′s easy gettin' rid of my friends
It keeps me hangin′ on, it's doin′ me harm
It's stickin′ with me right 'til the end, yeah

I try to roll with the punches
I try to ease up the fall
But when they monkey man calls me
I ain't worth nothing at all
Let me tell you ′bout it


Baby, baby
Can′t see you today
Monkey, monkey
Just won't go away

Monkey, monkey
Monkey around
Monkey, monkey
Monkey around
Monkey, monkey, monkey around
Monkey, monkey, monkey around
Monkey, monkey, monkey around
Monkey, monkey, monkey around
