The song Monkey Back is performed by Beth Hart in the album named Leave the Light On in the year 2003 .

Oh God save me for I am wicked and damned
'Cause I I can't take it no I can't shake it no I can't break it no
Oh God show me a better way to the Promised Land
Don't wanna eat it no more I cannot hide it
I can't take it I can't shake shake shake shake
I'm uninvited I can't fake it no I can't shake it

Shake that 'ol monkey off my back
Gimme my money back slip through your crack

Oh God know me I'm just dirty footprints at your door
Gimme my money back sit back
Oh God hold me from one more trip and liquor store
Shake that 'ol monkey off my back

'Cause I I can't take it and I can't shake shake shake shake
Gimme my money sit back
Gimme my money back slip through your crack
Slip through your crack an' get back

Gimme my money back
I'm not praying for a miracle just a little peace of mind
Still I am not my name God wouldn't save me,
And if what I do is all in vain as I'm screamin' goin' insane
So now it's me and my rotten friends
The drugs ain't working, no they're just jacking me off again
