Animal Baby Lyrics

So you want to be my friend,
But my best friends don't bring out their claws
So you want to play pretend
But my best friends don't bring out their claws

And I really wanted you,
And I was hoping that you wanted me too
I really wanted you but it's all over now

Oooh you've got somebody else
It's tearing me a (it's tearing me apart)
And you're an animal baby,
An animal, baby

Oooh you've got somebody else
it's tearing me a (it's tearing me apart)
And you're an animal baby,
An animal, baby

So you want to make amends
But, my old friend, it seems to me you lost
Your here, you leave to me your bed
But my best friends don't take off their clothes

And I really wanted you,
And I was hoping that you wanted me too
I really wanted you but it's all over now

Oooh you've got somebody else
it's tearing me a (it's tearing me apart)
And you're an animal baby,
An animal, baby

Oooh you've found somebody else
it's tearing me a (it's tearing me apart)
And you're an animal baby,
An animal, baby

Animal eyes
They tell your story
Animal eyes
Oh how they tore me
Animal eyes
I know you're sorry
Animal eyes,
Don't come looking for me

Oooh you've got somebody else
it's tearing me a (it's tearing me apart)
And you're an animal baby,
An animal, baby

Oooh you've got somebody else
it's tearing me a (it's tearing me apart)
And you're an animal baby,
An animal, baby

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Animal Baby lyrics by Alex Winston

I think it's about someone the writer (Alex?) met who really wants to be friends with benefits. At first, she just wants to be coy and play hard to get, but then realizes later that she really does want him/her. But by then, that person is in a relationship, hence the lyric "You found somebody else/And it's tearing me apart". Then she decides to let it all go ("Dont come looking for me), realizing that they were just manipulative.
