Lyric One Monkey Don t Stop No Show
My baby jumped up this morning,
n sat on the side of the bed.
He said, "I m leaving you, baby."
And this is just what I said.
I said, "I can t make you stay if you want to go,
but it s high time, baby, that you should know,
one monkey don t stop no show.
One monkey don t stop no show.
So, if you still wanna go, go ahead."
And I mean every word I said.
My baby thought I was jivin
and he went right out the door.
He left me about three in the morning.
I got me a man at four.
Some women cry when their men bleed em
dry, long and slow,
but I found out somethin a long time ago.
One monkey don t stop no show.
One monkey don t stop no show.
So if he gets too big for his pants
you better spring that new one and give him a chance.
I used to be chicken hearted;
cry when he d walk out the door,
cause I was just young and stupid.
Ha! Ain t like that no more.
Cause I had a hard way to go,
but I learned the score.
And I m here to tell you,
and I should know,
one monkey don t stop no show.
One monkey don t stop no show.
Let him do anything he choose.
There s a million men who can fill his shoes.
One monkey don t stop no show.
One monkey don t stop no show.
One monkey don t stop no show.
You can tell him I told you so.
"All right."
