I told you something safe Something I've never said before And I, I, I can't keep my hands off you While you lie in the wake Covered all in the night before I'm high, high, high, no one's got me quite like you I want you all to myself Don't leave none for nobody else I am an animal with you No angels could beckon me back And it's hotter than hell where I'm at I am an animal with you An ode to the boy I love Boy, I'll die to care for you You're mine, mine, mine, tell me who do I owe that to? And as the days fly by We'll be more than getting through, yeah And in time, time, time, we'll build a home for two I want you all to myself Don't leave none for nobody else I am an animal with you No angels could beckon me back And it's hotter than hell where I'm at I am an animal with you All is right in the meadow When I'm lying next to my fellow Baby, that's you Baby, that's Baby, that's you One way trip like an arrow All laid out like a tarot Baby, that's you Baby, that's Baby, that's you, you-you I want you all to myself Don't leave none for nobody else I am an animal with you No angels could beckon me back And it's hotter than hell where I'm at I am an animal with you (I am an animal with you) (I am an animal with you)
