I take pride in what I do
but you, my friend,
mistake me for a fool
you are like a monkey on my back
you left me standing in the rain
and you my friend,
all I took from you is pain
you are like a monkey on my back you
left me dancing in the cold
and I've got this feeling I'm too old
you are like a monkey on my back
get it off
get that monkey off my back
but you, my friend,
mistake me for a fool
you are like a monkey on my back
you left me standing in the rain
and you my friend,
all I took from you is pain
you are like a monkey on my back you
left me dancing in the cold
and I've got this feeling I'm too old
you are like a monkey on my back
get it off
get that monkey off my back
