[English]

Baby, I'm preyin' 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 (hey)

So, what you tryin' to do to me? (Hey)

It's like we can't stop, we're enemies (hey)

But we get along when I'm inside you, yeah (hey)

You're like a drug that's killin' me (hey)

I cut you out entirely (hey)

But I get so high when I'm inside you

Yeah, you can start over (hey), you can run free

You can find other fish in the sea (hey)

You can pretend it's meant to be (hey)

But you can't stay away from me

I can still hear you makin' that sound (hey)

Takin' me down, rollin' on the ground (hey)

You can pretend that it was me (hey), but no, oh

Baby, I'm preyin' 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- (hey)

So, if I run, it's not enough (hey)

You're still in my head, forever stuck (hey)

So you can do what you wanna do, yeah (hey)

I love your lies, I'll eat 'em up (hey)

But don't deny the animal (hey)

That comes alive when I'm inside you

Yeah, you can start over (hey), you can run free

You can find other fish in the sea (hey)

You can pretend it's meant to be (hey)

But you can't stay away from me

I can still hear you makin' that sound (hey)

Takin' me down, rollin' on the ground (hey)

You can pretend that it was me (hey), but no, oh

Baby, I'm preyin' on you tonight

Hunt you down, eat you alive

Just like animals, animals

Like animals-mals (oh)

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

That beast inside-side-side-side

Yeah, yeah, yeah

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

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

That beast inside-side-side-side

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yo (hey)

Whoa (hey)

Whoa

Just like animals (hey), animals

Like animals-mals (hey)

Just like animals (hey, yeah), animals (yeah)

Like animals-mals (yeah)

Ah-ooh

Baby, I'm preyin' on you tonight

Hunt you down, eat you alive

Just like animals (yeah), animals (oh)

Like animals-mals (oh)

Maybe you think that you can hide

I can smell your scent for miles (for miles)

Just like animals (yeah), animals (yeah)

Like animals-mals (ooh)
