I Lost the Monkey

No, I don't know why Well, I was feeling hurt and so I annoyed you; making up reasons to avoid you But now that all just seems so immature Because I just want you back This has all been a mistake; I didn't know what was at stake I was playing some kind of senseless game Oh, you don't need to tell me how I've lost the monkey now Now I discover you've found yourself a young new lover Well did I mention that that was never my intention? Here's my confession: I was just teaching you a lesson Did you see through me? Because instead of running back here to me you just said: "OK, if that's what you really want" No, I just want you back This has all been a mistake; I didn't know what was at stake I was playing some kind of stupid game Oh, you don't need to tell me how I've lost the monkey now
