Monkey On My Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Did I forget to mention? I just raise the stakes
Do you know who I am ? The girl you'd love to hate
I don't know what I'm doing . These crosses had to bear.
It´'s never my intention. I can't go back there.
You know this is history. It's coming back to me. The monkey on my back...
It's calling to me
Take me I'm yours , don't run away.
Take me I'm yours , want you everyday
Pain equals love, want it every way
Take me I'm yours , don't run away, run away.
You felt you knew it all , you say that I would break
You don't know who I am. The girl you'd love to hate
I don't need to hide. I don't need to care.
Look outside your window, I'm out there...
You know this is history. It's coming back to me. A monkey on my back...
It's calling to me
Take me I'm yours , don't run away.
Take me I'm yours , want you everyday
Pain equals love, want it every way
Take me I'm yours , don't run away, run away.
And it's calling to me x 4
You know this is history. Don't mean a thing to me, the monkey on my back
Take me I'm yours , don't run away.
Take me I'm yours , want you everyday
Pain equals love, want it every way
Take me I'm yours , don't run away
Take me I'm yours , don't run away.
Take me I'm yours , want you everyday
Pain equals love, want it every way
Take me I'm yours , / don't run away x 4 /
And it's calling to me
