Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love has locked us up, peaches
We're locked inside this zoo
Your bananas get thrown at me
And mine get thrown at you
Every night, we fuss and fight
Like Arabs and like Jews
I guess, love is always just
[Verse 2]
Love is monkey see and monkey do
That's all it is, peaches
Love is monkey see and monkey do
Would I lie to you?
Love is monkey see and monkey do
That's all it is, peaches
Love is monkey see and monkey do
Do, do, do
[Verse 3]
Do you want my love, peaches?
Or do you want my rage?
Or do you merely like to see me
Shake my cage?
Your papayas get thrown at me
And mine get thrown at you
I guess, love is always just
[Verse 4]
Love is monkey see and monkey do
That's all it is, peaches
Love is monkey see and monkey do
Would I lie to you?
Love is monkey see and monkey do
That's all it is, peaches
Love is monkey see and monkey do
[Verse 5]
You won't let me near you, peaches
But one day, you will
I'm gonna jump and stumble
And eat the jungle until I've had my fill
Then, you'll learn the truth, peaches
One and one ain't two
One and one is one and love is
[Verse 6]
Love is monkey see and monkey do
That's all it is, peaches
Love is monkey see and monkey do
Would I lie to you?
Love is monkey see and monkey do
That's all it is, peaches
Love is monkey see and monkey do
