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, 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 (yeah)

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 beast inside, si-si-side

Yeah, yeah, yeah

No, girl, don't lie, lie, lie, lie (no, oh-oh)

You can't deny-ny-ny-ny (you can't deny)

The beast inside, si-si-side
