Lyrics

Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals, like animals
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals
Animals, like animals
Baby, I'm
(Hey)
So what you trying to do to me?
(Hey)
It's like we can't stop, we're enemies
(Hey)
Although we get alone when I'm inside you, aye
(Hey)
You're like a drug that's killing me
(Hey)
I cut you out entirely
(Hey)
But I get so high when I'm inside you
(Hey)
Yeah, you can start over, you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down, rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me
But no, oh
Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals, like animals
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals
Animals, like animals
Baby, I'm
(Hey)
So if I run, it's not enough
(Hey)
You're still in my head, forever stuck
(Hey)
So you can do what you want to do, aye
(Hey)
I love your lies, I'll eat 'em up
(Hey)
But don't deny the animal
(Hey)
Becomes alive when I'm inside you
(Hey)
Yeah, you can start over, you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down, rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me
But no, oh
Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals, like animals
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals
Animals, like animals
Baby, I'm
Don't tell no lie, lie, lie, lie
You can't deny-ny-ny-ny
That beast inside-side-side-side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No, girl, don't lie, lie, lie, lie
You can't deny-ny-ny-ny
That beast inside, side, side, side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, uh)
(This is pain, this is love, this is sent from above)
(This a gift from the Gods, this was meant to be)
(You can run, you can hide, you can front, you can lie)
(But in time you gon' find you was meant for me)
(You a part of me and I'm part of you)
(I'm addicted, one hit won't do, I need a lot of you)
(Overdosing, your potion has got me floating on cloud nine)
(Tell me, what I'm supposed to do when I run out of you, I'm through)
(I need a fix, like D-boys need bricks)
(And plus whips to transport 'em, J. Cole, I seen it tall)
(You can't short 'em, one more time together)
(I hope your new man don't mind, girl, you're mine forever)
(Aw)
Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals
(Yeah)
Animals, like animals
(Oh)
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
(For miles)
Just like animals
(Yeah, yeah)
Animals, like animals
(Woo)
Baby, I'm
Don't tell no lie, lie, lie, lie
You can't deny-ny-ny-ny
(Yeah)
That beast inside-side-side-side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
No, girl, don't lie, lie, lie, lie
(No girl, don't lie)
You can't deny-ny-ny-ny
(You can't deny)
That beast inside-side-side-side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
