Monkey On Your Back Lyrics

Before you know what's wrong with you
Feel that monkey, sitting on your back
That's when you must realise that
For you it's too late to crawl back
That's when you must perceive
Your world is built out of make believe
That's when you wanna go but just can't leave
That's when you even need a shot to get a breeze

That's when your bed is gonna be your day
And when you ain't got it you can't even move
your head
That's when everything you touch seems unreal
And you don't even know how and what you feel

Well, if that's the way you want it to be
You better don't come to see me no more
I don't wanna be around
To see your world is tumbling down
I'd like to keep my feet right on the ground
That's why I don't want you around
The way you put yourself down
Don't appeal too much to me

I tried to show you the way out
You're on the leave, aren't you
I thought you were some way out

Well, I think I've done everything I could
I even loved you when it didn't go no good
Don't you tell me you love me so
I don't care a d*** and I already know
Don't you think that I feel sorry for you
And don't think about it if that's new to you

And I don't care what you're gonna do
Maybe you discover something new
And that makes you feel all right

So please, girl
Why don't you go away, leave me alone?
I still got a home
That's where I'm gonna stay
Stay home
