Tom : G#m
G#m E G#m E
[Verse 1]
G#m E
Don't ever take your eyes off me

Not even for a minute

Cause like a panther I might pounce
G#m E
And there'll be danger in it
[Chorus 1]
B E7
I can be sneaky, fast as a snake

I strike like a cobra, make no mistake

And baby you'll be trapped, quick as a wink

It's animal instinct
[Verse 2]
G#m E
Don't think that I won't pin you down

And you're the meat I'm needin'
[Chorus 2]

You better not be caught off guard

And I'm about to lurch now
[Chorus 3]

I roar like the jungle, I fight tooth and nail

I just gotta get you, you'll fall without fail
