The Animal In You - Marc and the Mambas

I was always a lonely boy

I hid little toys in my pockets

Friends to help me through the heartache

I never acted like a boy

All boys were cruel and so was I

And my breathing detonator pum-pum-pumping

And we’d fight in the dust and dirt

Both of us revert to the animal in us

I noticed your eyes today, avoiding me today

You humour me, smile, try to keep me at bay

I know you mean well

Or so you justify by the words

You are attempting to say

And what have you ever done for me?

What have you ever done for me?

Weeks between love are so long and cruel

Keeping me together is using up the fuel

The fire is eating up the furnace inside

I use up the last flames loving you

Your love is tender when it’s cruel

Your love is my door to the unreal

Your love is the key, feel, the way I feel

The way I feel, the way I feel, the way I…

What have you ever done for me?

What have you ever done for me?

When you smash up my room

When you smash up my room

When you twist my arm

When you twist my arm

Always testing, trying, testing

Trying to find out if I’m lying, you shout

What have you ever done for me?

(x4)

Your love is tender when it’s treating me cruel

Flashing around with the animal in you

What have you ever done for me?

What the hell have you ever done for me?

Tell me you love me, it makes me cry

All my nerve endings curl up and die

And that’s no way to act for a boy

And that’s no way to act for a boy

Not another twisted love

Not another twisted love

Not another twisted love

Not another twisted love

What have you ever done for me?

What have you ever done for me?

What have you ever done for me?

What have you ever done for me?

What have you ever done for me?

Not another twisted love

Not another twisted love

Not another twisted love

Not another twisted love

Dream of a million tortures

And they’d all be too good for you
