Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now we be vibin’ with the crew
Since you ain’t saying “I love you”
Monkey See Monkey Do
Yeah
Now you’re in the wrong
Cause you had me messed up
But now that I’m gone
For all the hard ache that you put me through
Naw
You hit my phone, yeah you went bananas
This song is so fire like Carlos Santana
I knew that your bull **** wasn’t true
Monkey See Monkey Do
Now we be vibin’ with the crew
Since you ain’t saying “I love you”
Monkey See Monkey Do
Yeah
Monkey See Monkey Do
Now we be vibin’ with the crew
Since you ain’t saying “I love you”
Monkey See Monkey Do
Yeah
Hanging around with friends that you’re use too
While you’re stuck at home, listening to this
Moo
You think I’ll go crawling back to you
Monkey See Monkey Do
Now we be vibin’ with the crew
Since you ain’t saying “I love you”
Monkey See Monkey Do
Yeah
I’m only writing this song
So that your friends can sing along
And you know who you are
Monkey See Monkey Do Yeah
Monkey See Monkey Do
Monkey See Monkey Do
The song "Monkey See Monkey Do" by David S. Polanski (Children's) is about a person who is done with their toxic relationship and has moved on from it. The title "Monkey See Monkey Do" refers to the person who treated the singer badly and now wants to fix things but only because the singer has moved on. The singer is now vibing with their friends and enjoying their life. The lyrics, "Since you ain’t saying 'I love you' / Now you’re in the wrong / Cause you had me messed up / But now that I’m gone / You want to make up / For all the hard ache that you put me through," mean that the person who caused the singer pain is trying to make amends, but it is too late. The singer knows that the person is just copying their actions because they see the singer doing well without them.
The lyrics, "I’m only writing this song / So that your friends can sing along / And you know who you are," indicate that the singer wants their ex-partner to hear the song and feel regretful for what they did. The singer is not interested in going back to their former relationship, and the lyrics "You think I’ll go crawling back to you," highlight that fact. Overall, the song is a statement of independence and self-love.
