I tried to believe
Could get some relief
They told me so
Now I just don’t know
If I should beware
Or I just don’t care
Saw it in her eyes
One of her goodbyes

Ooh how did it get away
Ooh how did it get away

It came from the monkey
It’s a natural fact
Don’t want to believe
There’s a monkey on your back
Came from the monkey
It’s a natural fact, yeah, yeah, yeah
Same as the monkey
When it’s under attack
Don’t want to give in
Don’t want to go back
Came from the monkey
It’s a natural fact, yeah, yeah, yeah

What do you know
Of a world below
And is there love
In a world above
What would you wear
If you didn’t care ‘bout anything
Like stayin’ clean

Ooh how did it get away
Ooh how did it get away

It came from the monkey
It’s a natural fact
Don’t wanna believe
There’s a monkey on your back
It came from the monkey
It’s a natural fact, yeah, yeah, yeah
Same as the monkey
When it’s under attack
Don’t want to give in
Don’t want to go back
Came from the monkey
It’s a natural fact, yeah, yeah, yeah

I’m inclined to think that there are
Things that you believe in
You don’t know, you just don’t know
I could find a reason to have
Something to believe in even though
We just don’t know, ooh, yeah

Ooh how did it get away
Ooh how did it get away

It came from the monkey
It’s a natural fact
Don’t wanna believe
There’s a monkey on your back
It came from the monkey
It’s a natural fact, yeah, yeah, yeah
Same as the monkey
When it’s under attack
Don’t wanna give in
Don’t wanna go back
Came from the monkey
It’s a natural fact, yeah, yeah, yeah
