Song Lyrics:
Monkey see, monkey do
I don't know why I
Rather be deal than cool
I don't know why I
Every line ends in rhyme
I don't know why I
Less is more, love is blind
I don't know why I

Stay
Stay away (x3)

Give an inch, take a smile
I don't know why I
Fashion shits, fashion style
I don't know why I
Throw it out and keep it in
I don't know why I
Have to have poison skin
I don't know why I

Stay
Stay away (x3)

I don't know why I
I don't know why I

Stay
Stay away (x3)

Monkey See, monkey do
I don't know why I
Rather be deal than cool
I don't know why I
Every line ends in rhyme
I don't know why I
Less is more, love is blind
I don't know why I

Stay
Stay away (x3)

I don't know why I
I don't know why I

Stay
Stay away (x3)

Stay away (x5)
God is gay
