Monkey – Richard Edwards and The Velvet Ocean

Then white snake and lightning bolt
Compel us to move to another juke joint
Can’t blame it all on the moon
The mess of words that tumble onto you

Because love breaks
Love breaks
Love breaks your heart
Because love breaks
Love breaks your heart

Lately, I do nothing but listen to my body
And I got no designs to do you harm
Oooh, baby, it’s on
I’ll be sweet and simple all night long
Pull my hair
Smack my ass
Make me your monkey

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Some splendid Sunday morning, I’ll forget you
And you will tumble from my brain
Like a drifter from a train
I will feel myself getting better
As I find myself growing bold
Comforted by the drone of my mantra
Though I will confess to a measure of loneliness
That follows me down
To the south side of town

Lately, I do nothing but listen to my body
And I got no designs to do you harm
Oooh, baby, it’s on
In my dream, there’s a beach and there’s lightning
And I fall under your spell like a dog
Oooh, in my dream, you warn me
And we three make our escape
From some beast with a horrible face
Who gains on us
Until eventually we are overcome

Oooh, then baby
I feel nothin’
Oooh, tell me, tell me, mama
How did it happen?
Oooh, baby, it’s on
I’ll be sweet and simple all night long
Pull my hair
Smack my ass
Make me your monkey
Pull my hair
Smack my ass
Make me your monkey
Pull my hair
Smack my ass
Make me your monkey

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
