The Turtle and the Monkey
I'm a lamb if you love me, but a lion if you poke
And if we're gonna be laughin' I would like to be in on the joke
Sometimes I think you show me scabs just to tempt me to tear 'em away
Makin' me draw blood, will never make me want to stay
Oh, it's sad but true, love is never enough
And after just a few months we are not immune
Oh, we used to stay up late starin' in each other's eyes
Now I'm wakin' early to call you up and apologize
I'm a turtle in the woods stickin' to my path
You're like a monkey in the trees jumpin' from branch to branch
I love the way you move, I love the way you Rock n' Roll
But high jumpin' for a turtle is bound to take it's toll
Oh, it's sad but true, love is never enough
And after just a few months we are not immune
Oh, we used to stay up late starin' in each other's eyes
Now I'm wakin' early to call you up and apologize
And oh oh, it's a cold hard fact
We've served some colorful vocabulary, baby, that we can't take back
And oh oh, we used to hold each other tight under the sparkling trees
And oh oh, now you're beggin' for me back on your scraped up knees
And oh, oh, we used to spend all night starin' in each other's eyes
Now I'm wakin' early to call you up and apologize
And if we're gonna be laughin' I would like to be in on the joke
Sometimes I think you show me scabs just to tempt me to tear 'em away
Makin' me draw blood, will never make me want to stay
Oh, it's sad but true, love is never enough
And after just a few months we are not immune
Oh, we used to stay up late starin' in each other's eyes
Now I'm wakin' early to call you up and apologize
I'm a turtle in the woods stickin' to my path
You're like a monkey in the trees jumpin' from branch to branch
I love the way you move, I love the way you Rock n' Roll
But high jumpin' for a turtle is bound to take it's toll
Oh, it's sad but true, love is never enough
And after just a few months we are not immune
Oh, we used to stay up late starin' in each other's eyes
Now I'm wakin' early to call you up and apologize
And oh oh, it's a cold hard fact
We've served some colorful vocabulary, baby, that we can't take back
And oh oh, we used to hold each other tight under the sparkling trees
And oh oh, now you're beggin' for me back on your scraped up knees
And oh, oh, we used to spend all night starin' in each other's eyes
Now I'm wakin' early to call you up and apologize
