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
