You crawled up from the gutter
You say you've seen the light
Now you want to live life better
Your sentiment is rather trite
You say that you've learned your lessons
But lessons they take time
Meanwhile there are so many temptations
Have a look at some of mine
I loved her like a daughter
She told you she's my slave
After everything I gave her
That thing still won't behave
She's an animal
An animal
You ought to hear my story
But I haven't got the time
To offer a contrition
For the way I spend my time
To make you see my angle
You'd have to step inside
My palace of illusions
Where there's nothing you can hide
My little animal
I grant people their wishes
The first couple of times
And I expect compensation
Only asking for what's mine
Before we go much further
Before I let you go
You know you really don't deserve her
There's something you should know
You're still an animal
An animal
I collected her the same way
That the sea collected me
And she'll do the same I tell you
Just you wait and see
She complains of feeling empty
She's always wanting more
I told her that I know the feeling
What's she think I took her for
But her appetite is ravenous for one so young and thin
She's on the hunt for more than all the treasures in my den
She's an animal
An animal
An animal
An animal
I think she's gonna leave me
I guess I'll let her go
But I've given her so much
You know she really owes me more
I think she's gonna leave me
I guess I'll let her go
But I'll need a new distraction
This much you have to know
'Cause I'm an animal
