The Manimal
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.
Oh, whoa no I can't pretend to tell you lies
The heat that's burnin' thru' my veins
Will eat your love alive
Cos I-Yes I'm the devil in disguise
The will is strong, the flesh is weak
You see it in my eyes
Call me-me the Manimal
That's what I am
Call me-me the Manimal
Half beast half man
Call me-me the Manimal
That's what I am
Call me-me the Manimal,
Half beast half man
Oh, whoa no temptation's fever's burnin' me
My hands will sweat, my lips will scream
I take just what I need
Cos I-I wanna run my hands on you
My soul's alive, I feel the drive
The sweetmeat's where I feed
Call me-me the Manimal
That's what I am
Call me-me the Manimal
Half beast half man
Call me-me the Manimal
That's what I am
Call me-me the Manimal
Half beast half man
Call of the wild I'm a lunatic child
I wait in the bush, I watch you and smile
Dinner's at eight, I can't hardly wait
I'll eat you alive, baby don't you be late
Call me-me the Manimal
That's what I am
Call me-me the Manimal
Half beast half man
Call me-me the Manimal
That's what I am
Call me-me the Manimal
Half beast half man
