Animal I Am

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
