The Turtle And The Monkey

I'm a lamb if you love me, but a lion if you poke
And if we're gonna be laughing I would like to be in on the joke
Sometimes I think you show me scabs just to tempt me to tear 'em away
Making 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 staring in each other's eyes
Now I'm waking early to call you up and apologize

I'm a turtle in the woods sticking to my path
You're like a monkey in the trees jumping from branch to branch
I love the way you move, I love the way you Rock n' Roll
But high jumping 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 staring in each other's eyes
Now I'm waking 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 begging for me back on your scraped up knees
And oh, oh, we used to spend all night staring in each other's eyes
Now I'm waking early to call you up and apologize
