About Animals

The timid second track on Maroon 5’s fifth studio album, V. It uses animal metaphors to describe a breakup that might not last. It was released as the second single shortly after its release. Its music video came out September 29th, 2014. In it, Adam plays a butcher stalking a woman (played by his wife). Both the video’s premise and final scenes have attracted controversy for their sexual content, liberal blood use, and perceived glamorization of unhealthy relationships. .

Animals Lyrics

[00:00.57] Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
[00:03.00] Hunt you down, eat you alive
[00:05.53] Just like animals, animals
[00:08.31] Like animals-mals
[00:10.51] Maybe you think that you can hide
[00:13.28] I can smell your scent for miles
[00:15.60] Just like animals, animals
[00:18.55] Like animals-mals, baby, I'm...
[00:22.05] So, what you trying to do to me?
[00:24.25] It's like we can't stop, we're enemies
[00:26.45] But we get along when I'm inside you, yeah
[00:29.61]
[00:32.28] You're like a drug that's killing me
[00:34.12] I cut you out entirely
[00:37.12] But I get so high when I'm inside you
[00:40.73] Yeah, you can start over, you can run free
[00:43.48] You can find other fish in the sea
[00:45.83] You can pretend it's meant to be
[00:48.30] But you can't stay away from me
[00:51.02] I can still hear you making that sound
[00:53.53] Taking me down, rolling on the ground
[00:56.08] You can pretend that it was me, but no, oh
[01:01.27] Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
[01:03.65] Hunt you down, eat you alive
[01:06.19] Just like animals, animals
[01:08.83] Like animals-mals
[01:10.77] Baby, you think that you can hide
[01:13.66] I can smell your scent for miles
[01:16.25] Just like animals, animals
[01:19.23] Like animals-mals, baby, I'm...
[01:22.75] So, if I run, it's not enough
[01:24.94] You're still in my head, forever stuck
[01:27.70] So you can do what you wanna do, yeah
[01:32.96] I love your lies, I'll eat 'em up
[01:34.87] But don't deny the animal
[01:37.81] That comes alive when I'm inside you
[01:40.98] Yeah, you can start over, you can run free
[01:43.95] You can find other fish in the sea
[01:46.41] You can pretend it's meant to be
[01:48.93] But you can't stay away from me
[01:51.61] I can still hear you making that sound
[01:54.17] Taking me down, rolling on the ground
[01:56.69] You can pretend that it was me, but no, oh!
