Lyrics Animals

Animals was created by the band Maroon 5, with lead vocalist Adam Levine, producer Benny Blanco, and Shellback contributing to its development. The track is featured on the bands album V and was released as a single. The inspiration behind the song was to create something that felt instinctual and animalistic, using metaphors to liken a complicated romantic relationship to predatory animal behavior. 

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, eh
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 that 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
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

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 beast inside, side side side
Yeah yeah yeah
No girl don't lie, lie lie le
You can't deny, ny ny ny
The beast inside, side side side
Yeah yeah yeah

Just like animals, animals, like animals-mals
Just like animals, animals, like animals-mals

Baby I’m preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals, animals, like animals-miles
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
You can’t deny
The beast inside
Yeah yeah yeah
No girl don't lie
You can't deny
The beast inside
Yeah yeah yeah
