You were hairy, knuckles dragging on the ground
You swung on a tire, ate bananas and flung feces
Was it love I had found?

Bears? please no!
They are clumsy, smell of shit and eat garbage.
I want a creature with dignity and sign language.

Never love a gorilla, it will only break your heart
Never love a gorilla, it will rip you apart
Gorilla love, you want it madly
Gorilla love, it will only end badly

Every day at the zoo I tossed fruit.
You flung poo.
I was hurt. I was lost
but what could I do?

What to do?
Just leave you behind that water margin?
I couldn't just barge in
there were keepers and guardians.

Never love a gorilla, it will only break your heart
Never love a gorilla, it will rip you apart
Gorilla love, you want it madly
Gorilla love, it will only end badly

I broke you out under cover of night.
We should have kept low
but you rose up and roared and beat on your chest.
You had to be loud and prove you're the best.

They came with their tanks and they came with their guns.
They shot you with tranquilizers right in your buns.
They tied you up tight.

I'll never forget the look in your eyes that night.

Never love a gorilla, it will only break your heart
Never love a gorilla, it will rip you apart
Gorilla love, you want it madly
Gorilla love, it will only end badly

Gorilla love...

Fabulous!
