See the monkey peel the onion   See the monkey cry   He can feel his tears are flowin'   But he don't know why   He continues peeling faster   `Til the onion is no more   Now at last his cryin's over   But all he had is gone   Whatever for   You and I are always chasing   Wild ambitions and far off dreams   As we run in all directions   Nothing's quite the joy it seems   If I tell you that I love you   Don't ask how much   And don't ask why   Have no doubt and ask no questions   Just believe it's not a lie   Never take my love for granted   But never put it to the test   Like the monkey and his onion   Too much investigation   You know the rest   You and I are always chasing   Wild ambitions and far off dreams   As we run in all directions   Nothing's quite the joy it seems   On that we could be contented   With the good things that we've gained   But in the end we're empty handed   Just because we need the world explained
