The Turtle and the Monkey - Emily Kinney

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
