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 laughin' i would like to be in on the joke, sometimes i think you show me scabs just to tempt me to tear 'em away, makin' me draw blood, will never make me want to stay, oh, it's sad but true, love is never enough, and after just a few months we are not immune, oh, we used to stay up late starin' in each other's eyes, now i'm wakin' early to call you up and apologize, i'm a turtle in the woods stickin' to my path, you're like a monkey in the trees jumpin' from branch to branch, i love the way you move, i love the way you rock n' roll, but high jumpin' for a turtle is bound to take it's toll, oh, it's sad but true, love is never enough, and after just a few months we are not immune, oh, we used to stay up late starin' in each other's eyes, now i'm wakin' early to call you up and apologize, 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 beggin' for me back on your scraped up knees, and oh, oh, we used to spend all night starin' in each other's eyes, now i'm wakin' early to call you up and apologize
