Animal Instinct Lyrics by The Cranberries

Stars: The Best of 1992-2002

1999

[Verse 1]
Suddenly, something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly, I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry? (Woah-oh)
Do you know you made me die?
[Pre-Chorus]
And the thing that gets to me (Thing that gets to me)
Is you'll never really see (Is you'll never really see)
And the thing that freaks me out (The thing that freaks me out)
Is I'll always be in doubt (Always be in doubt)
[Chorus]
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing
The animal
The animal instinct
(Whoo-huu-hu, whoo-huu-hu, whoo-huu-hu-uhh)
[Verse 2]
So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no (Oh)
They will never make me die
[Pre-Chorus]
And the thing that gets to me (Thing that gets to me)
Is you'll never really see (Is you'll never really see)
And the thing that freaks me out (The thing that freaks me out)
Is I'll always be in doubt (Always be in doubt)
[Outro]
The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal, it's the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal, it's the animal instinct in me
The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal, it's the animal instinct in me
