Monkey Back Lyrics by Beth Hart

Monkey Back Lyrics

    Oh God save me for I am wicked and damned
    Oh God show me a better way to the Promised Land
    'Cause I I can't take it no I can't shake it no I can't break it no
    Don't wanna eat it no more I cannot hide it
    I'm uninvited I can't fake it no I can't shake it
    I can't take it I can't shake shake shake shake

    Shake that 'ol monkey off my back
    Gimme my money back slip through your crack
    Gimme my money back sit back

    Oh God know me I'm just dirty footprints at your door
    Oh God hold me from one more trip and liquor store
    'Cause I I can't take it and I can't shake shake shake shake

    Shake that 'ol monkey off my back
    Gimme my money back slip through your crack
    Gimme my money sit back
    Gimme my money back
    Slip through your crack an' get back

    I'm not praying for a miracle just a little peace of mind
    And if what I do is all in vain as I'm screamin' goin' insane
    Still I am not my name God wouldn't save me,
    So now it's me and my rotten friends
    The drugs ain't working, no they're just jacking me off again
