You’ll be lonely by yourself, still alone with someone else.
Don’t I know that?
Where’s the one that I once knew, holding hands with someone new?
Don’t you know me?
With each new angry word I say I know I’m driving you away. I don’t mean to.

Who’s the monkey? What’s the score? What do you want to hurt me for?
I know I’m over you.
Who’s the monkey on your case, another pretty tail to chase?
I know I’m over you now. I know I’m over getting over you now.

Line your lovers heel to toe, in single file, in tidy rows. You didn’t know them.
And every angry word I say is driving you further and further away. I don’t mean to.

Who’s the monkey turning on? By tomorrow he’ll be gone. I know I’m over you now.
I know I’m over you now. I know I’m over getting over you now.
But, you know, I’ve no idea why. Yes, you know all it takes is time.
