Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
monkey sees monkey does
do like the monkey
Now that I've given everything
I have to you
You want to say goodbye
The first cut went deeper
And if I said it didn't hurt
You know that would be a lie
Goodbye baby
you're gonna do fine out there
Just remember
you gotta sometimes beware
There'll be lovers
who wanna make you their fool
Don't be their monkey
don't be their monkey
monkey sees
in the wild world
monkey does
it's your life
monkey sees
you gotta stand up for you
monkey does
don't do like the monkey
monkey sees
in the real world
monkey does
in the big time
monkey sees
baby it's true
monkey does
Don't be like the monkey
I've had my own string of being
someone's monkey
and I just want to let you know
I can't live your life for you
and baby I don't mean to try
it's just so hard to let you go
Goodbye baby
you're gonna shine out there
I can see them
coming from everywhere
All those fools
who wanna make you their lover
Just don't be somebody's monkey
monkey sees
in the wild world
monkey does
it's your life
monkey sees
you gotta stand up for you
monkey does
don't do like the monkey
monkey sees
in the real world
monkey does
in the big time
monkey sees
baby it's true
monkey does
Don't be like the monkey
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Don't do like the monkey
Goodbye baby
you're gonna do fine out there
Just remember
you gotta sometimes beware
There'll be lovers
who wanna make you their fool
Don't be their monkey
don't be their monkey
monkey sees
in the wild world
monkey does
it's your life
monkey sees
you gotta stand up for you
monkey does
don't do like the monkey
monkey sees
in the real world
monkey does
in the big time
monkey sees
baby it's true
monkey does
Don't be like the monkey
monkey sees
in the wild world
monkey does
it's your life
monkey sees
you gotta stand up for you
monkey does
don't do like the monkey
monkey sees
in the real world
monkey does
in the big time
monkey sees
baby it's true
monkey does
be like the monkey
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Don't be like the monkey
