| animal | |
| i'm nothing more than an animal | |
| in search of another animal | |
| to tame and claim as my own | |
| you danced for me | |
| sang me songs and you spread your wings | |
| flashed your colors and lured me | |
| into your nest for the night | |
| i was all suited up with nowhere to go | |
| but you made me honest and you gave me a home | |
| now even when you draw me near | |
| i know you're still an arms length away | |
| and i don't want to be just anybody to you | |
| i want to be your one and only mate for life | |
| instead i'm just like everybody else who's tried | |
| i've got to say | |
| so long to my ideals | |
| they served me once and served me well | |
| now they only serve to spin my wheels | |
| i guess i ought to face my fears | |
| i once was tragically hip and beautifully fine | |
| now my beautiful hips are tragically wide | |
| now every time i try to draw you near | |
| i know you're still an arms length away | |
| at least try to make it feel sincere | |
| and worth your while to stay | |
| cuz i don't want to be just anybody to you | |
| i want to be your one and only mate for life | |
| instead i'm just like everybody else who's tried | |
| i've got to say | |
| i guess i ought to face my fears | |
| so long to my ideals | |
| they served me once and served me well | |
| now they only serve to spin my wheels | |
| i guess i ought to face |
