Animals
Maroon 5 / Maroon 5 Lyrics

Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
I am actively seeking you out tonight, with the intention to hunt you down and consume you.

Hunt you down eat you alive
I will chase you, overpower you, and devour you.

Just like animals
I am behaving like an instinct-driven, primal animal.

Animals
The animalistic behavior is being emphasized.

Maybe you think that you can hide
You may believe that you can conceal yourself from me.

I can smell your scent for miles
I possess an acute sense of smell, enabling me to detect your presence from a long distance.

So what you trying to do to me
I am questioning your intentions towards me.

It's like we can't stop, we're enemies
We seem to be constantly at odds with each other, and unable to resolve our issues.

But we get along when I'm inside you, eh
The only time we are able to temporarily set aside our differences and communicate well is during sexual intercourse.

You're like a drug that's killing me
I am addicted to you, even though it is detrimental to my well-being.

I cut you out entirely
I have tried to eliminate you from my life completely.

But I get so high when I'm inside you
However, when I engage in sexual activity with you, I experience a strong, addictive high.

Yeah, you can start over you can run free
You have the option to move on and lead your own life.

You can find other fish in the sea
You can pursue other romantic partners.

You can pretend it's meant to be
You can rationalize that our relationship was never meant to be.

But you can't stay away from me
However, you cannot resist the temptation of being with me.

I can still hear you making that sound
I can vividly recall the sounds you make during sexual intercourse.

Taking me down rolling on the ground
Our sexual nature is intense and physical, causing us to roll around on the ground.

You can pretend that it was me
You can imagine that those sounds and experiences were with someone else.

But no, oh
However, that could never be truly satisfying to you.

So if I run it's not enough
Even if I try to distance myself from you, it will not be sufficient.

You're still in my head forever stuck
My memories and thoughts of you will always linger and torment me.

So you can do what you wanna do, eh
You are free to take whatever actions you desire.

I love your lies I'll eat 'em up
I am drawn to your lies and will eagerly accept them.

But don't deny the animal
Do not suppress the primal instinctual behavior, embrace it.

That comes alive when I'm inside you
The animalistic behavior and sensation only emerges when we engage in sexual activity.

Don't tell no lie, lie, lie, lie
Do not fabricate or conceal any information, truthfulness is required.

You can't deny-ny-ny-ny
You cannot refuse to acknowledge or accept the truth of the situation.

The beast inside-side-side-side
The primal animalistic nature that resides within us both.

No girl, don't lie, lie, lie, lie (no girl don't lie)
I am urging you to be honest and truthful.

You can't deny, ny-ny-ny (you can't deny)
You cannot reject or refuse to recognize the truth.

The beast inside-side-side-side
The primal animalistic nature within us both.

Ow
An exclamation of excitement, signaling the intensity of the situation.

Animals
The theme of animalistic behavior is being emphasized again.
