Lyrics

[Ellie Goulding:]

Even though we both know we’re liars and we start each other’s fires

We just know that we’ll be alright

Even though we’re kicked out the party ’cause we both hate everybody

We’re the ones they wanna be like

So don’t let me down

Keep me in trouble

Born to be wild

Out in the jungle

And I don’t wanna be somebody without your body

Close to me

And if it wasn’t you, I wouldn’t want anybody

Close to me

‘Cause I’m an animal, animal-al

Like animal, like you

And I don’t wanna be somebody without your body

Close to me

[Swae Lee:]

You can never come too close for comfort

I had to cut my bitch off, she bein’ stubborn (Stubborn)

I make it known I fuck with you, not undercover (‘Cover)

And when I jump in, I’m burnin’ rubber (Yeah, skrrt)

Iced out body, didn’t go to college (Yeah, yeah)

Price tag poppin’, then you on a private (Then you on a)

Don’t say “Sorry,” everyone’s watchin’ (Everyone)

When you’re where I am, everything’s timeless (Yeah, yeah)

[Ellie Goulding:]

And I don’t wanna be somebody without your body

Close to me

And if it wasn’t you, I wouldn’t want anybody

Close to me

‘Cause I’m an animal, animal-al

Like animal, like you

And I don’t wanna be somebody without your body

Close to me

Close to me

Close to me

Yeah

Animal, animal-al

Like animal, like you

And I don’t wanna be somebody without your body

Close to me

And if it wasn’t you, I wouldn’t want anybody

Close to me

Because I’m an animal, animal-al

Like animal, like you

And I don’t wanna be somebody without your body

Close to me

Close to me

(To me)

Close to me
