[Verse 1]
Nobody knows me like the monkey on my back
He's got control now, and I'll never get it back
It's a brutal attraction, like a moth to a deadly flame
It's a knee-jerk reaction, fall to my knees and beg
Just a still little voice, just a matter of choice
Just the mention of your name
Did it have to be me? Why did it have to be me?
The hunter is the game

[Chorus]
Hey Mr. Jones, you led me on, hey hey
Hey Mr. Jones, you did me wrong
Hey hey hey hey hey

[Verse 2]
He'll never leave me, and he'd rather see me dead
He has deceived me, I'm in way over my head
You appear every morning, and you scream when I'm trying to sleep
You come on without warning, watch laughing as I bleed
Why you fucking with me? Let me go, I can't breathe
Yes, the desperate have no shame
My insatiable need, my uncontrollable greed
The pleasure is the pain

[Chorus]
Hey Mr. Jones, you led me on, hey hey
Hey Mr. Jones, you did me wrong, hey hey
Hey Mr. Jones, look what you did, hey hey
Hey Mr. Jones, I'm just a kid
Hey hey hey hey hey

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]
Just look at me, I'm skin and bones
I sold my soul to Mr. Jones
Just look at me, I'm skin and bones
I sold my soul to Mr. Jones
(Hey Mr. Jones)
Just look at me, I'm skin and bones
(You led me on, hey hey)
I sold my soul to Mr. Jones
(Hey Mr. Jones)
Just look at me, I'm skin and bones
(You did me wrong, hey hey)
I sold my soul to Mr. Jones
Jones, Jones, Jones

[Outro]
(Hey Mr. Jones)
Just look at me, I'm skin and bones
I sold my soul to Mr. Jones
(Hey Mr. Jones)
Just look at me, I'm skin and bones
I sold my soul to Mr. Jones
(Hey Mr. Jones)
Just look at me, I'm skin and bones
I sold my soul to Mr. Jones
(Hey Mr. Jones)
Just look at me, I'm skin and bones
I sold my soul to Mr. Jones
(Hey Mr. Jones)
Just look at me, I'm skin and bones
I sold my soul to Mr. Jones
(Hey Mr. Jones)
Just look at me, I'm skin and bones
I sold my soul to Mr. Jones
(Hey Mr. Jones)
