They say that bearing crosses is a religion in itself But honey the strain Im under, its ruining my health When we first met as lovers, we walked together hand in hand But now that bridge of love has shattered, Im such a lonely man Im not gonna be your monkey, Im not gonna be your fool Im not gonna stand round waiting While youre out there trying to be cool At the bitter end. Well you listed all my virtues honey, and you charged a real high price Well given this set of circumstances, I dont think thats nice Im not gonna be your monkey, Im not gonna be your clown Im not gonna stand round watching as they lower you down In the ground At the bitter end. Im like a knight in shining armour, honey do I detect some rust? Im moving one step higher, honey tell me, honey tell me, honey you must Well I gave you all my confidence, and you gave me back just lies I recognise amongst our best friends, most of them are spies With all this poison in the system, love was murdered from the first And though I practiced eastern logic, I just cannot break the curse Well Im not gonna be your monkey, Im not gonna dance any jig Im not gonna stand round waiting, As youre taking your lunch with the pigs At the bitter end.
