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
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
Oh let the monkey ride
Looks to me she's got me hooked, rest assured 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
Oh let the monkey ride
Cause I can't get enough to be satisfied
Oh so you better get her off my back
Oh let the monkey ride
