Animals Lyrics

Lyrics
Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
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
Just like animals, 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, yeah
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-mals
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals, animals
Like animals-mals
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, yeah
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
Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
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
Just like animals, animals
Like animals-mals
Baby, I'm
Don't tell no lie, lie, lie, lie
You can't deny, ny, ny, ny
That beast inside, side, side, side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No girl don't lie, lie, lie, lie
You can't deny, ny, ny, ny
The beast inside, side, side, side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh oh, woah oh oh oh, woah oh oh oh
Just like animals, animals
Like animals-mals
Just like animals, animals
Like animals-mals
Ah-ooh
Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
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
Just like animals, animals
Like animals-mals
Don't tell no lie, lie, lie, lie
You can't deny, ny, ny, ny
That beast inside, side, side, side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No girl don't lie, lie, lie, lie
You can't deny, ny, ny, ny
That beast inside, side, side, side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
