The Turtle And The Monkey Lyrics

I'm a lamb if you love me, but a lion if you poke
And if we're gonna be laughing
I would like to be in on the joke
Sometimes I think you show me scabs
Just to tempt me to tear ‘em away
Making me draw blood will never make me wanna stay

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh it's sad but true
Love is never enough
And after just a few months we're not immune
Oh, oh, oh we used to stay up late
Staring in each other's eyes
Now I'm waking early to call you up and apologize

I'm a turtle in the woods sticking to my path
You're like a monkey in the trees Jumping from branch to branch
I love the way you move
I love the way you rock and roll
But high jumping for a turtle is bound to take its toll

[Chorus Repeat]

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 begging for me back
On your scraped up knees
And oh, oh we used to spend all night
Staring in each other's eyes
Now I'm waking early to call you up and apologize
