Monkey on Your Back Songtext
von The Outsiders

Before you know what′s wrong with you
You feel that monkey, it's sitting on your back
That′s when you must realize that
For you it's too late to crawl back
That's when even you must have seen
Your world is built out of make-believe
That′s when you want to go but just can′t leave
That's when you even need a shot to get a breeze
That′s when you bet it's 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 want to be around
To see your world is crumbling 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 only believed in shit
And I thought you were from way out
Well I think I done everything I could
I even loved you but it didn't go no good
Don′t you tell me you love me so
I don't give a damn and I already know
Don't you think that I feel sorry for you
And don′t you think about it, get that from you to you
And I don′t care what you're going through
Maybe you′ve discovered something new
That can make you feel alright
So please girl, why don't you go away?
Leave me alone, I still got a home
That′s where I'm a-gonna stay
