Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving into 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?
With a monkey?

Oh, I count to ten
But I don't know how, and I don't know when to
Open my eyes
Baby, if you kiss me again
Like you did just now, like you did just then
Just, just, 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?
With a monkey? Ah, ah, ah, la la!

[Przerwa]

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?
Back, back, don't do it again!
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 into 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?
With a monkey?
Ah, ah, ah, la la!

[Przerwa]

Better watch out, baby who's that?
Don't look now, there's a monkey on your back
Watch out, baby who's that?
Don't look now there's a monkey on you
Watch out, baby who's that?
Don't look now there's a monkey on your back
Watch out, baby who's that?
Don't look now there's a monkey on you

Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving into 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?
With a monkey?

So you tell me that you won't do anymore!

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 into 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?
Ah, ah, ah, la la!

Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving into 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?
With a monkey? With a monkey?

Set your monkey free!
Set your monkey free!

[Przerwa]

Better watch out, baby who's that?
Don't look now, there's a monkey on your back
Watch out, baby who's that?
Don't look now there's a monkey on you
Watch out, baby who's that?
Don't look now there's a monkey on your back
