Animals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby let me take you home
I'll love you all my life
You can bet I'll treat you right
If you'll just let me take you home
Baby can I dance with you

If you'll just let me dance with you
Baby let I take you home
Baby let me take you home
I'll love you all my life
You bet I'll treat you right

When I saw you baby
I couldn't ignore you
And I wanted you
For my girl
And when you said 'yeah'
I just couldn't care about
Anybody else in this world alone
You smiled at me baby
And I could see my life
Planned out ahead
You took my hand and it felt so good
And this is what you said
Baby won't you be my man
Baby won't you be my man'
Yes, I'll be your man
And I'll do the best I can
I want to be you man
That's all baby
Oh, see man see man baby
Baby, feel alright
Hey baby, its alright
So good
It's all right

Fantastic. Another flawless track from their golden era. Burdon's voice and the band's musicianship and arrangements were nothing short of outstanding.
@reerobinette7460
Holding up thru the years !!!! Some bands, like the Animals stand the test if time.
Awesomeness ✌️🤘🎶
@davebailey4200
Oh man this is the best album in the group I ever heard when I found out about it I love the animals sound and rhythm
@RoyFive
Best lineup. Price on organ, Chas on bass, Hilton on guitar, John Steele on drums and Burdon on vocals.
@tynebar
RIP Hilton ~ and how can 10 people give this a thumbs down?
@keshoasubuhi
That's about 0.0001 per cent of the total views. And your problem is??
@ovotestes
love it !
@RoyFive
Wouldn't want to compare the Doors with the Animals because each band was great at what they did. Ray Manzarek and Alan Price were both top of the line keyboardists.
@stevenhobin
+Guy Sharwood Alan Price went on to release the ridiculously twee Simon Smith & His Amazing Dancing Bear whereas Ray Manzarek later co-wrote Riders On The Storm, one of the most atmospheric rock songs of all time. As a rock keyboard man, Manzarek was light years ahead of Price.
@G8GT364CI
@popularside percy Apples and oranges, both were great.
