Sir Chloe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried to love you
But you're not my type
Tried to pretend
But it just don't feel right

To be
Your
Number one

Should've known better
I tried to stay cool
You were telling me
I'm such a fool
To say
Now
Number one

Make me behave
Like an animal
Make me behave
Like an animal

I'm asking nicely
Give me what I want
I'll ask politely
Give me what I want

I tried to love you
But you're not my type
Tried to pretend
But it just don't feel right
To be
Your
Number one

Make me behave
Like an animal
Make me behave
Like an animal

I'm asking nicely
Give me what I want
I'll ask politely
Give me what I want

Make me behave
Like an animal
Make me behave
Like an animal

Make me behave

Make me behave

Overall Meaning

The song "Animal" by Sir Chloe is a song about the struggle of trying to fit into someone else's expectations and failing to do so. The first verse starts with the admission that the singer tried to love someone, but they just don't feel right for each other. Despite trying to pretend to be with this person, they realize that they cannot be their number one. The chorus then comes in and repeats the phrase "Make me behave like an animal", which suggests a desire to let go of any societal expectations and just give in to one's desires. The second verse is a continuation of the first, with the singer acknowledging that they should have known better than to try and force something that wasn't there. The bridge then comes in and the singer politely asks for what they want, reiterating the desire to let go and be free. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the call to let go and give in to one's primal desires.


Overall, "Animal" is a song about the desire to break free from societal expectations and be true to oneself. It's about recognizing when a situation or relationship is not right for you and being brave enough to admit it. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the struggle of trying to fit in and the release that comes with giving in to one's true desires. The song is upbeat and catchy, but the lyrics carry a deeper message that is relatable to many.

This song is like:
• Wanting validation from a abusive partner

• Feeling like you're being used by a friend

• being clingy

• attachment issues

• Being hated by your favorite person and basically doing anything to get validation from them
