One Monkey Don't Stop No Show - Part I

(album: Soulful Tapestry - 1971)

The show must go on

Oh, one monkey
Don't stop no show
If you don't want my love
You're free to go
(You can go, you can go, you can go)

Life is a play
We play different parts
But to be a star in love
You've got to feel it in your heart

You've been acting too strange
You don't love me with soul
Well, there's lots of other guys
Who'd love to play your role

If you don't wanna be my leading man
Get out of my life and let me live again
(You can go, you can go, you can go)

Oh, the show must go on

Hey, one monkey
Don't stop no show
If you don't want my love
You're free to go
(You can go, you can go, you can go)

I said one monkey
Don't stop no show
If you really need our love
You'd better let it show
(Let it show, let it show, let it show)

Once we had a love
You couldn't live without
The greatest love that heaven
Has ever put out

Success has gone to your head
You wanna be free, yeah
Fool, don't you realize
Your backbone is me

If you no longer like your part
Get out of my life before you ruin my heart
(You can go, you can go, you can go)

Oh, the show must go on

I love you
But I can do without you
Arriba, arriba

You can go
There's the door
You can go, you can go
The show must go on

Hey, one monkey
Don't stop no show
If you don't want my love
You're free to go
(You can go, you can go, you can go)

I said one monkey
Don't stop no show
