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...
