Monkey in Your Soul Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got one and you want four
It's so hard to help you
I can't keep up with you no more
And you treat me like it's a sin
But you can't lock me in
You want me here with you right to the end
No thank you my friend
[Refrain]
I fear the monkey in your soul
[Verse 2]
Won't you turn that bebop down?
I can't hear my heart beat
Where's that fatback chord I found?
But honey don't you think it was wrong
To interrupt my song?
I'll pack my things and run so far from here
Goodbye dear
[Refrain]
I fear the monkey in your soul
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Don't you think it was wrong
To interrupt my song?
I'll pack my things and run so far from here
Goodbye dear
[Refrain]
I fear the monkey in your soul
I fear the monkey in your soul
