1
When you look, what do you see?
2
You only see the monkey not the man in me
3
But now I'm back, and that's a fact
4
Gonna show the next generation where I'm at
5
What I mean is to say
6
The way that I was is the same as I am today
7
Now if you're white, or if you're black
8
Remember you can't get the monkey off your back
9
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
10
You're running from the monkey man
11
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
12
You're running from the monkey man
13
I was lost, but now I'm found
14
Some might even say that I've been around
15
With the crowd I would move
16
Mr. sophisticated just can't lose
17
Now in the style that I was dressed
18
I was the steady reason no-one could test
19
Yeah I was smart and I was cool
20
No matter how hard they tried I was no-ones fool
21
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
22
You're running from the monkey man
23
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
24
You're running from the monkey man
25
Did you hear what I say?
26
Now did you hear what I say?
27
When you look, what do you see?
28
You only see the monkey not the man in me
29
But now I'm back, and that's a fact
30
Gonna show the next generation where I'm at
31
What I mean is to say
32
The way that I was is the same as I am today
33
And if you're white, or if you're black
34
Remember you can't get the monkey off your back
35
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
36
You're running from the monkey man
