Maroon 5 – Animals Lyrics

Baby I’m preying on you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive¹
Just like animals²
Animals
Like animals-mals

Maybe you think that you can hide³
I can smell your scent for miles⁴
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,⁵ eh
You’re like a drug that’s killing me⁶
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 me⁷
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

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 stuck⁸
So you can do what you wanna do,⁹ eh
I love your lies I’ll eat ’em up
But don’t deny the animal
That comes alive when I’m inside you¹⁰

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

Don’t tell no lie, (lie lie lie)
You can’t deny, (ny ny ny)
The beast¹¹ inside, side side side
