Monkey Puzzle Lyrics

Somebody help me, help me get that girl cause
I know that I need her, I know that I need her

There's nobody sweeter in the whole wide world
I'm dying to meet her, I'm dying to meet her

'Cause when I see her and she looks so fine
I can't give up till I know she's mine, yeah

Oh Lord, can you help me, could you tell me her name, 'cause
I know that I need her, I know that I need her

I'm somebody tryin', tryin' to play the game, 'cause
I know that I need her, I'm dyin' to greet her

I think about almost her every night
To live without her well it wouldn't be right

When I see her, yeah she looks so fine
I can't give up till I know she's mine, yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Most probably Anton, It's his song. As far as i know only Matt Hollywood sang some of his songs live (for example Oh Lord). But i thing all studio songs from Take It From the Man is singing Anton.
