Oh I can't stand to leave that girl alone
And if I explained it till the cows came home
You'll never understand how I feel inside
Oh so you better get her off my back
Let the monkey ride
Oh let the monkey ride
They say you better let her go, she's no good for you
Oh but I couldn't cut her loose if I wanted to
If the truth be told, I never tried
Oh so you better get her off my back
Let the monkey ride
Oh let the monkey ride
Looks to me she's got me hooked, rest a**ured there ain't no cure
I need a soul where the me I know, can't be denied
Don't you know she's got a hold of my heart
No but don't wait around for us to drift apart
Cause I can't get enough to be satisfied
Oh so you better get her off my back
Let the monkey ride
Oh let the monkey ride
Cause I can't get enough to be satisfied
Oh so you better get her off my back
Let the monkey ride
Oh let the monkey ride
