I Lost The Monkey - The Wedding Present

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
