"Animal Instinct" lyrics
(from "Harum Scarum" soundtrack)
Don't ever take your eyes off me
Not even for a minute
'Cause like a panther I might pounce
And there'll be danger in it
I can be sneaky, fast as a snake
I strike like a cobra, make no mistake
And, baby, you'll be trapped, quick as a wink
It's animal instinct
Don't think that I won't pin you down
No matter how you plead it
I'm like a lion who's been caged
And you're the meat I'm needing
Watch out, I'll warn you, sharp as a hawk
I'm wild as a tiger, I prowl and I stalk
'Cause when a man feels thirst, he takes a drink
It's animal instinct
You better not be caught off guard
This wolf is on the search now
A leopard just can't change its spots
And I'm about to lurch now
Love's like a jungle, I'll fight tooth and nail
I've just gotta get you, you'll fall without fail
I'm ready for the kill, I'm right on the brink
It's animal instinct
It's animal instinct
It's animal instinct
Not even for a minute
'Cause like a panther I might pounce
And there'll be danger in it
I can be sneaky, fast as a snake
I strike like a cobra, make no mistake
And, baby, you'll be trapped, quick as a wink
It's animal instinct
Don't think that I won't pin you down
No matter how you plead it
I'm like a lion who's been caged
And you're the meat I'm needing
Watch out, I'll warn you, sharp as a hawk
I'm wild as a tiger, I prowl and I stalk
'Cause when a man feels thirst, he takes a drink
It's animal instinct
You better not be caught off guard
This wolf is on the search now
A leopard just can't change its spots
And I'm about to lurch now
Love's like a jungle, I'll fight tooth and nail
I've just gotta get you, you'll fall without fail
I'm ready for the kill, I'm right on the brink
It's animal instinct
It's animal instinct
It's animal instinct
