Animal

[Opening Refrain]
An-an-animal
When the sun goes down
妳說乖一點
Honey, where’s the fun in that?

[Verse 1]
One dead letter in the neon glow
Big cat at the door says, “Easy, Joe”
Slick my hair, give my cuffs a pull
借來的西裝　剛好裝得下虛榮

You stir cherry cola, let the ice ring twice
Leopard-print skirt and a look that bites
All those cats flash gold, you let ’em try
妳挑走那顆櫻桃
把他們晾在甜言蜜語裡

One thin dime and the needle drops
“Say, pretty baby, save a dance for me”
妳說先收起羽毛
“Got any steps, or just pretty sleeves?”

[Refrain]
An-an-animal
Easy with those claws
You reach for me, then you let me miss
妳退的那一步　吊著我的心

Ooh, animal
Come a little closer
I don’t bite anymore
“Anymore?”

[Instrumental Pocket]
[Bass riff, playful saxophone responses]

[Verse 2]
Big Charlie makes that battered horn moan
An elephant callin’ his sweetheart home
Drummer grins, lets the backbeat drag
老闆喊了最後一首
他偏要多留住一點夜晚

Parrots by the payphone: “Hello, doll”
Same sweet nothin’s, one more call
妳說那些情話　都長著同一張嘴
Then you step on my shoe—“Am I in your way?”

“No, ma’am, you’re right where you oughta be”
You take my comb like a trophy off me
我那點漂亮的威風
現在全歸妳保管

[Breakdown]
“Easy, tiger”
“Who, me?”
妳看著我的手
我才鬆開那副神氣

“Cat got your tongue?”
Well, ain’t that a shame
妳還沒叫我的名字
我已經答應了一聲

[Final Refrain]
An-an-animal
Look what you made me do
You little animal
Who’s got a hold on who?

One little smile, I forget my lines
妳勾勾手　我就走錯了拍
還偏偏覺得　錯得很愉快

Ooh, animal
Come a little closer
I don’t bite anymore
Not like before

[Outro]
House lights rise, all the bright birds fade
Lions count the change that they should’ve saved
Nobody roars when the band packs up
Just a spoon goin’ round in a coffee cup

妳晃著車鑰匙　站在晨光下
I reach for the keys, you reach for me
“Leave that old jalopy, let her sleep”

An-an-animal
昨晚那頭獅子
正替妳提著高跟鞋

妳問我的威風呢
I left it on the floor
Your hand in mine
Who needs it anymore?
