E D

You lift me up, you hired me

D E

you light my day, you fired me

E D

But then you stole the sun, delighted me D E

Now the day is gone, you knighted me  

It's dawning on me how it starts

Your wisdom must be why it smarts

Some wholes sum as many parts

Sing Sing Monica Sing your song  

can you admit that you were wrong?

Sing Sing Monica sing your song

go back home where you belong

Sing Monica, Sing Monica...

Sing Monica, Sing Monica...

You gave me one last taste, retreated me Then cut me off at the knees, defeated me From your ivory tower, inspired me

Then stole my manhood, desired me

It's setting in now how it ends

you may have one it all depends

have-nots have as many friends

Sing Sing Monica Sing your song...

it really didn't last too long

Sing Sing Monica sing your song

can you admit that you were wrong?

go back home where you belong

E D

You charged me up, excited me

 G A

upended and re-righted me

 E D

then you hooked me up, you wired me

 G A

but when my tread was worn, retired me
