I got this monkey on my back and it's bothering me
This monkey on my back just won't let me be
And I can't sit still why monkey walks by
This monkey is the devil but the monkeys a disguise
It's not a real monkey, no it's not a real monkey
This problems not in my head I say
This problem is with me everyday
It follows me around where ever I roam
This monkeys on my back and it won't let me go
No, this monkey won't let me go
This monkey won't let me go
This M.O.N.K.E.Y
This monkeys on my back and I don't know why?
This M.O.N.K.E.Y
It's been on my back my whole damn life
My whole damn life, my whole damn life
I got this monkey on my brain driving me insane
This monkeys living large, whilst I'm living in a cage
And I can't seem to control this monkey no
This monkeys in charge, I'm just here for the show
But it's not a real monkey, no it's not a real monkey
Somewhere in the future I'll get control
For now it's the monkey that's got me hold
Riding my back each and every day
This monkey is in my blood and it's in my veins
No, this monkey won't let me go
This monkey won't let me go
This M.O.N.K.E.Y
This monkeys on my back and I don't know why?
This M.O.N.K.E.Y
It's been on my back my whole damn life
This M.O.N.K.E.Y
This monkeys on my back and I don't know why?
This M.O.N.K.E.Y
It's been on my back my whole damn life
My whole damn life, my whole damn life
I got this monkey on my back and it's bothering me
This monkey on my back just won't let me be
And I can't sit still why monkey walks by
This monkey is the devil but the monkeys a disguise
It's not a real monkey, no it's not a real monkey
This problems not in my head I say
This problem is with me everyday
It follows me around where ever I roam
This monkeys on my back and it won't let me go, NO.
