Hunt you down eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals-mals
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Animals
Like animals-mals
Baby I'm
So what you trying to do to me
It's like we can't stop, we're enemies
But we get along when I'm inside you, eh
You're like a drug that's killing me
I cut you out entirely
But I get so high when I'm inside you
Yeah, you can start over you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me
But no, oh
Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles

Baby, I'm
So if I run it's not enough
You're still in my head forever stuck
So you can do what you wanna do, eh
I love your lies I'll eat 'em up
But don't deny the animal
That comes alive when I'm inside you
Yeah, you can start over you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me
But no, oh

Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
I'm on the hunt for you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive
I want to capture you and consume you
Just like animals
My behavior towards you is like that of an animal
Animals
Just repeating the title of the song
Like animals-mals
Just repeating the title of the song with emphasis
Maybe you think that you can hide
You might believe that you can avoid me
I can smell your scent for miles
But I can detect your presence from a great distance
So what you trying to do to me
What are you attempting to make me feel
It's like we can't stop, we're enemies
It appears that we can't end our conflict and remain antagonistic towards each other
But we get along when I'm inside you, eh
But we have a good relationship when we're physically intimate
You're like a drug that's killing me
You are dangerously addictive like a drug
I cut you out entirely
I've tried to remove you completely from my life
But I get so high when I'm inside you
But I experience an intense, euphoric feeling when we're physically intimate
Yeah, you can start over you can run free
You have the choice to move on and leave me behind
You can find other fish in the sea
You can look for another partner
You can pretend it's meant to be
You can try to convince yourself that we're meant for each other
But you can't stay away from me
But you can't resist coming back to me
I can still hear you making that sound
I still hear your moaning and groaning
Taking me down rolling on the ground
We're physically intimate and rolling around on the floor
You can pretend that it was me
You can try to convince yourself that someone else is the one making you feel this way
But no, oh
But deep down, you know it's me
So if I run it's not enough
If I try to escape from you, that won't be sufficient
You're still in my head forever stuck
You're permanently lodged in my thoughts
So you can do what you wanna do, eh
So you're free to do whatever you please
I love your lies I'll eat 'em up
I enjoy hearing untruths from you and will accept them
But don't deny the animal
But don't deny the primal urge we have for each other
That comes alive when I'm inside you
That grows stronger when we're physically intimate
Don't tell no lie, lie, lie, lie
Don't lie to me
You can't deny-ny-ny-ny
You can't deny your true feelings
The beast inside-side-side-side
The primal nature within us
No girl, don't lie, lie, lie, lie (no girl don't lie)
Don't lie to me, girl
The beast inside-side-side-side
The primal nature within us
