Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry?
Oh-oh
Do you know you made me die?
[Verse 2]
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
[Verse 3]
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing
The animal
The animal instinct
[Verse 4]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
[Verse 5]
So take my hands and come with me
We won't change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry
No-oh
They will never make me die
[Verse 6]
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
[Verse 7]
The animal
The animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal
The animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal
It's the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal
It's the animal instinct in me
The animal, the animal
The animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal
It's the animal instinct in me
