I Lost The Monkey Lyrics

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
