Animal Instinct
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know when I'm hungry, I know the taste I like
I know how much it takes to satisfy my appetite
I know when I've had enough or when I still need more
I don't need no-one to tell me what I'm hungry for
Just my animal instinct, way that I feel
Animal instinct, got to be real
Animal hunger, burning down below
Animal instinct will show me where to go
If you're feeling hungry your big desires burn
You need some satisfaction but you don't know where to turn
Got to trust your instincts, instincts always right
You'll find what your hungry for out there in the night
Trust your animal instinct, way that you feel
Animal instinct, got to be real
Animal hunger, burning down below
Animal instinct will show you where to go
Animal instinct, way that you feel
Animal instinct, got to be real
Animal hunger, burning down below
Animal instinct
Animal instinct, burning down below
Animal hunger
Animal instinct, burning down below
Animal hunger
Animal hunger, burning down below
Animal instinct
Animal instinct, burning down below
Animal hunger
Animal hunger......
