The 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
