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 |
