Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell you baby,
You huggin' up the big monkey man
You huggin' up the big monkey man
I've seen no sign of you, I've only heard that you huggin' up the big monkey man
I've seen no sign of you, I've only heard that you huggin' up the big monkey man
Is not lie, is not lie, them a tell me, you huggin' up the big monkey man
Now I know that, now I understand, you turnin' a monkey on me
Now I know that, now I understand, you turnin' a monkey on me
The lyrics of Buju Banton & Cocoa Tea's song "Too Young" tell a story of betrayal and heartbreak. The song is about a girl who is cheating on her partner with someone else, referred to as the "big monkey man". The lyrics convey the singer's pain and confusion as he realizes that his partner has been unfaithful to him. He hasn't seen any indications of his partner's infidelity but has only heard rumors about her being with the big monkey man.
The phrase "huggin' up the big monkey man" is repeated several times in the song and is used as a metaphor for the girl's betrayal. The monkey symbolizes something wild and uncontrolled, and hugging it implies being physically intimate with someone else. The singer is hurt and angry that his partner has chosen to be with someone else instead of him. He now understands that his partner has "turned a monkey" on him, which means that she has cheated on him, and he feels betrayed.
The lyrics of the song are simple yet powerful, and they capture the emotions of a person who has been betrayed by someone they love. Buju Banton & Cocoa Tea's soulful vocals and the reggae rhythms add to the emotional impact of the lyrics, making this song a classic in the world of Reggae music.
