The Beast Within

The law of the jungle has taken over
"Come and get it," she smiles
She licks her wet lips all over
My horse is going wild
She strips down the bare animal
I'm ready to stampede
Honey, you've got what I want
And she whispers, "I've got what you need"
Oh yea
I can't tame him
The beast within
Can't restrain him
The beast within
I can't hold him
The beast within
Can't control him
The beast within
I've turned into a ravenous wolf
Looking to be fed
She's the dish I'm gonna eat
Dinner will be served in bed
She strips down to the bare animal
Spreads a feast for me
She says, "I've go all you want"
And I whisper, "You've got all I need"
Oh, yea!
I can't tame him
The beast within
Can't restrain him
The beast within
I can't hold him
The beast within
Can't control him
The beast within
