The animal I am inside Don't give a damn about my pride Her smile is a mile wide Cus she don't give a damn The animal I have in me Don't give a shit for dignity So go ahead and let me be The animal I am When I try to reason she just laughs When she cries it breaks my heart in half In my younger days I tried To keep her locked away inside But there ain't no use to try and hide The animal I am The animal that's in me yet She's got no use for etiquette Heaven knows if you will get A lion or a lamb And god forbid you fall for me Though I might treat you tenderly Hang around and you will see The animal I am When I try to reason she just laughs But when she cries it breaks my heart in half In my younger days I tried To keep her locked away inside There ain't no use to try and hide The animal I am Well she barks all night She's always startin fights But she's only actin tough All she needs is love In my younger days I tried To keep her locked away inside But there ain't no use to try and hide The animal I am
