Monkey Lyrics by Moia Bri

2018

[Intro]
Ooh, ahh
No... yeah-yeah-yeah

[Verse 1]
I'ma switch it up, can’t roll on the right no more
Your business done, now what am I waitin' for?
I'm tryna pretend that I don’t see what I wish I didn't know
The nights I be forgettin' I shouldn't be left alone
You threw everything out the window
And you swept it under the rug
To be with someone who gives you just a fraction of my love

[Hook]
I gave you all of me, you gave me all of you
Our love was never a game until you changed the rules
I gave you all of me, you gave me all of you
Guess our love was just a game, and I'm done playing
Monkey in the middle, I don't want you back
Monkey in the middle
Oh, oh, I'm done playing
Monkey in the middle, I don't want you back
Monkey in the middle

[Verse 2]
Gears are grindin’, baby boy don’t like it rough (ah-ah-ah)
Flexin' all night, like I wasn’t enough (hoo-ah, hoo-ah, ha...)
I'm winnin' and you can forfeit if you like
But I done let you take control of my life
Not once was you worried 'bout me
More than any o’ them hoes
Who think they be doin' you right
Ain't tryna put up a fight, or see eye-to-eye
Baby I ain't tryna waste my time
You crossed the line

[Hook]
I gave you all of me (hey), you gave me all of you (ah)
Our love was never a game until you changed the rules
I gave you all of me, you gave me all of you
Guess our love was just a game, and I'm done playing
Monkey in the middle
I don't want you back (I don't want you back)
Monkey in the middle
Oh, oh, I'm done playing
Monkey in the middle
I don't want you back (I don't want you back)
Monkey in the middle

[Bridge]
You wasn't keepin' it one hun' (one hun')
Monkey in the middle ain't fun (ain't fun)
Take responsibility, don't front
Why you mad at my reaction? (Nope)
I'ma speed up at the next speed bump
Wanna fuck your bumper up and make you pucker up (pucker up)
Guess I'ma be on my way but don't follow me
Should'a known better when I gave you all of me son (ah-ah-ah)
This time I ain't on your team
Sir no, just as the referee
Since you did this to me, I'm gonna take the lead
It's game over, I gave you everything

[Hook]
I gave you all of me (oh!), you gave me all of you (ah...)
Our love was never a game until you changed the rules (changed the rules)
I gave you all of me (oh), you gave me all of you (oh...)
Guess our love was just a game (our love was just a game), and I'm done playing
Monkey in the middle, I don't want you back (oh...)
Monkey in the middle, oh, oh, I'm done playing (oh, oh, ha)
Monkey in the middle (ha), I don't want you back (monkey in the middle)

[Outro]
Monkey in the middle (in the middle)
Monkey in the middle, I don't want you back (middle)
Monkey in the middle, oh, oh, I'm done playing (ah... na-na-ha)
Monkey in the middle, I don't want you back (oh...)
Monkey in the middle (ha)
