think about it. All my friends are junkies? DRUGS obviously. the stones were huge into drugs. who doesnt know that. this song is about addiction. "im a monkey man" doesnt have anything to do with evolution. anyone who thinks that needs some help. the point is, he has a monkey on his back. hes addicted, but he doesnt necessarily want to give it up. so hes glad this girl doesnt want to either.
gabby, you got it. A "monkey" is a junkie...got a monkey on his back. The "That's not really true" line reminds me of the old joke:
Q. When does a junkie lie?
A. Every time his mouth moves.

@gabbybaybe I figured it definitely had to do with drugs, most likely heroin, but the monkey on your back thing, good call I hadn't up with that one yet, and about the girl, that hadn't dawned in me either. Good observation.
