I'm not sure about anyone else, but from the chorus, this is what I get.
"Hey monkey where you been?
This lonely spiral I've been in"
I think this is Adam asking the girl where she's been all his life - so far, it's only consisted of loneliness, and now that she's here, he wants to know why he didn't find her sooner.
"Hey monkey when can we begin?
Hey monkey where you been?"
This to me, seems like Adam wanting to start his life with this girl, because he's waited so long for the perfect person.
Also, the background vocals are as follows for the chorus:
"Hey Monkey, (Isn't it a shame) where you been?
It's a lonely (Gone away again, that's where I've been) spiral I've been in,
Hey Monkey (Can't you see the pain that I'm in?) when can we begin?
(And Monkey where you been?) Hey Monkey, where you been?"
