lyrics

I been drinking since dawn.
I been swinging through the trees
'Cause in the state I'm in,
I do just as I please.
Now it's raining so hard.
I left my cigarettes in my car.
I'm so long overdue.
I'm a monkey man for you.

Let's talk about love.
Let's forget about the past.
'Cause with my fingers in your glove,
I can make a good thing last.
There are stories you hear
About that one so dear.
I could tell you a few.
I'm a monkey man for you.

A monkey man, a monkey man.
You gotta give me something
I can understand.
I'm a monkey man.

A monkey man, a monkey man.
You gotta give me something,
Take me by the hand.
I'm a monkey man.

When you're on the road,
And you're all alone,
I'll put a spell on you,
And I'll take you home.
But now it's Saturday,
And you're so far away.
The telephone won't do.
I'm a monkey man for you.
