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 these songs and you spread your wings Flashed your colours 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 your 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, I've got to say So long to my ideals (I guess I ought to face) They served me once and served me well (I guess I ought to face) Now they only served to spin my wheels (I guess I ought to face) 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
Cause 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, I've got to say (I guess I ought to face my fears) I've got to, I've got to say So long to my ideals (I guess I ought to face) They served me once and served me well (I guess I ought to face) Now they only served to spin my wheels (I guess I ought to face) I guess I ought to face
