Lyrics
Sweet Monkey Nanci Hobson September 2011
It’s been a while…since you’ve called me up
Were you nervous….I’d ask you why…
Well I won’t go there….honey I just don’t care…
It’s the last thing on my mind…
You took half of my money
You took half of my heart out, too…
But the only thing I want tonight
Has nothing to do with you….
Taking my monkey back tonight
Monkey...monkey….fly….
Making myself feel better now
Is the best part of goodbye..
I dreamed again… the other night
Saw my future… in the candle’s light…
We were shaking …a magic eight-ball
My sweet monkey and I
I’ll never need any other…
Cause he’s a lover who doesn’t lie….
I’ll take him back cause I love his act,
he always makes me smile….
Taking my monkey out tonight
Monkey…monkey….fly..…
Making myself feel better now
Is the best part of goodbye…
Monkey…monkey…come to me….
Bring…me….home…..tonight.
