[Verse 1]
You say you love me, oh yeah, I bet
With all that money and time I spent
To keep you happy, not coming at me
I pay the rent
I'll say it's over, you say okay
Keep my composure and negotiate
I'll take the week, and you take the week
And let's walk away
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, no
Can't say that it wasn't fun
Flying too close to the sun
I never meant to hurt anyone
Oh, yeah
I pay for every mistake
In every conceivable way
I pack it up and I say I'm done (And every time I)
[Chorus]
Shake that monkey off of my back
He keeps crawling, crawling right back
I let go, but man, I'm still so attached (And every time I)
Shake that monkey out of my brain
He shows up in different ways
'Round and 'round in circles I can't escape
[Verse 2]
I've got this feeling I can't explain
Like I can't live with or without the pain
I'm so unhappy that I'm kind of happy
Yes, all the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, no
Can't say that it wasn't good
Doing shit that nobody should
But we haven't talked in almost a month
Oh, yeah
I pay for every mistake
In every conceivable way
I pack it up and I say I'm done (And every time I)
[Chorus]
Shake that monkey off of my back
He keeps crawling, crawling right back
I let go, but man, I'm still so attached (And every time I)
Shake that monkey out of my brain
He shows up in different ways
'Round and 'round in circles I can't escape (And every time I)
Shake that monkey off of my back
He keeps crawling, crawling right back
I let go, but man, I'm still so attached (And every time I)
Shake that monkey out of my brain
He shows up in different ways
'Round and 'round in circles I can't escape (And every time I)
[Outro]
(And every time I)
(Shake that monkey out of my brain)
(He shows up in different ways)
('Round and 'round in circles I can't escape)
