Monkey Business Lyrics
Well, Lord have mercy
Well, Lord have mercy
This ain't no good for me
This ain't no good for me, babe
Well, Lord have mercy
Well, Lord have mercy
Ain't no good for me, babe
Tell me what's goin' down, babe
Every time I wanna say it, it is just too much for me
I don't ever wanna say it 'cause of all the blasphemy
Everybody's doin' it to somebody's love in sight of me
I might tell on you
Don't you start no stuff with me
Your brother's gone and kissed the mother in law
I might tell Dad about what I saw
I caught your mother, she doin' a dude
You can't like it that I'm lookin' right at you
Stop it, it's too much
Monkey business goin' down
Well, Lord have mercy
Well, Lord have mercy
Don't be callin' out "mercy me" (Don't be callin' out "mercy")
Don't be callin' down, babe (Don't be callin' out "mercy")
Well, Lord have mercy
Even burst the breast
Don't be callin' out "mercy me" (Don't be callin' out "mercy me")
Don't be goin' down, babe (Don't be callin' out "mercy")
Every time I wanna say it, it is just too much for me
Everybody's doin' it to somebody's love, it seems to me
I just can't believe the things I'm seein', so just let it be
I might tell on you
So don't you start no stuff with me
Your brother's gone and kissed the mother in law
I might tell Dad about what I saw
I caught your mother, she doin' a dude
You can't like it that I'm lookin' right at you
Stop it, it's too much
Monkey business goin' down
I read the paper and I can't believe what's goin' round
Somebody's doin' it to somebody's up, somebody's down
The government won't pay my taxes and I'm really mad
My mouth might let it be
So don't you monkey shy with me
Your brother's gone and kissed the mother in law
I might tell Dad about what I saw
I caught your mother, she doin' a dude
You can't like it that I'm lookin' right at you
Your brother's gone and kissed the mother in law
I might tell Dad about what I saw
Your brother didn't make a nickle, or dime too
Sittin' around tellin' how he did it to you
Stop it, it's too much
Monkey business goin' down
(Monkey business goin' down)
(Monkey business goin' down)
(Monkey business goin' down)
(Monkey business goin' down)
(Monkey business goin' down)
(Monkey business goin' down)
(Monkey business goin' down)
(Monkey business goin' down)
Well, Lord have mercy
This ain't no good for me
This ain't no good for me, babe
Well, Lord have mercy
Well, Lord have mercy
Ain't no good for me, babe
Tell me what's goin' down, babe
I don't ever wanna say it 'cause of all the blasphemy

This song makes me laugh.
Some of the lyrics are wrong but...This is one of the songs I think actually was about his family. He just changed a few things around.
I completely agree with you. We all know that Jermaine had a relationship and a baby with Randy's ex and I think that this was Michaels way of dealing with it, writing a song about. The similarities is amazing. Also, I think generally speaking, this song was also about his disappointment in all the relationships going on around him, including his dads infidelity. But I got to hand it to Mike, he sure knew how to put it into a song.
