Animal Love I
Charlene Kaye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This crowded room has a hundred ghosts
But it's your pretty green eyes that please me the most
I fully know this is dangerous
But I've never been too good at control

'Cause when I look at you baby it's like looking straight into the sun
And I don't wanna look away cause I know I'm gonna lose my guns
Go ahead and take my conviction
Go ahead and take my everything

So let your bones show, let your bones show
Won't have to hide, have to hide hide anymore
Our animal love, animal love
Will be enough to protect the both of us

You're crouching low like a jungle cat
But something tells me I'd be content to be trapped
One fleeting look and there goes my breath
But no pleasure comes without consequence

Tell me, is this for the moment
Or do you really think we could last?
Boy, I really need to know, I dont have time to be played like that
But suddenly you're reaching for my hand
And every sturdy brick crumbles to sand

So let your bones show, let your bones show
Won't have to hide, have to hide anymore
Our animal love, animal love
Will be enough to protect the both of us

Sick and tired of being alone
Take my hand, I don't wanna go home
I just want a little bit of your ecstasy
The stars won't know what hit them
When they brought together you and me
What his them or what they got
Together you and me

So let your bones show, let your bones show
Won't have to hide, have to hide anymore
Our animal love, animal love
Will be enough to protect the both of us

So let your bones show, let your bones show
Won't have to hide, have to hide anymore
Our animal love, animal love
Will be enough to protect the both

Our love is all that we got
Maybe love is enough
So go on, go on, go on
Animal love
Come on baby




I know we got, I know we got love baby
Our love is enough to protect the both of us
