Bette Midler Lyrics

"One Monkey Don't Stop No Show" lyrics


My baby jumped up this morning
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 though 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 them
Dry, long and slow
But I found out something 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! Aint' 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 could 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
