One Monkey Don't Stop No Show Songtext
von Earl Thomas

My baby jumped up this morning
Sat on the side of the bed
And said, "I′m leaving you, Earl Thomas"
And this is what I said
I said, "Well I can't make you stay
If you really wanna go
But before you leave, baby
There′s something you need to know
You see, I came up the hard way
And I know the score
And I'm here to tell you, honey
'Cause there′s something you need to know"

That one monkey don′t stop no show
One monkey don't stop no show
Oh, if you think you wanna leave, go ahead
But baby, remember every word that I said


Now, my baby must′ve thought I was jivin'
′Cause you know, there was a little sashay walkin' out the door
But that was like, oh I don′t know, three o'clock in the morning
I called my other friend, my real friend, who was here by four
You see, you thought I would cry
If you left me dry and all alone
But I want you to know something, baby
I want you to know

That one monkey don't stop no show
That one monkey don′t stop no show
Oh, if you think you wanna leave, go ahead
But baby, remember these words I said

You better recognize

Now I used to be chicken-hearted
Oh yeah, I would cry at the mere thought of you leavin′
But I guess I was just young and dumb and, well, I was rather stupid
But I'm not like that no more
You see, I did come up the hard way
And I know the score
And I′m here to tell you people
I think that I should know


One monkey don't stop no show
One monkey don′t stop no show
Oh, if you think you wanna leave, go ahead
But baby, remember these words that I said, what'd I say?
Oh, one monkey
Don′t stop no show
Oh, if you think you wanna leave, baby
Then honey, you just go ahead and go
Hurry up
If you think you wanna leave
Leave the money on the dresser, baby
Large bills
That's right, ha ha ha
