Animals is the song by Maroon 5, which has been much debated and criticized recently. It is the second single from the band’s number-five studio album, V. In the Animals music video, Adam Levine appears with his wife Behati Prinsloo. What’s so scandalous about the video? Animal carcasses at the slaughterhouse where the male protagonist works, lovers kissing naked and fully covered in blood – all this deserved strong criticism. The video was condemned for dehumanizing women. Despite the criticism, the song drew a great deal of attention and managed to peak at position 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, which made the tenth track by Maroon 5 peaking inside the top 10 in the US.

Maroon 5 – Animals Song Words
Baby, I’m preying on you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals
Baby, I’m
So what you trying to do to me
It’s like we can’t stop we’re enemies
But we get along when I’m inside you
You’re like a drug that’s killing me
I cut you out entirely
But I get so high when I’m inside you
Yeah, you can start over you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it’s meant to be
But you can’t stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound

So if I run it’s not enough
You’re still in my head forever stuck
So you can do what you wanna do
I love your lies I’ll eat ’em up
But don’t deny the animal
That comes alive when I’m inside you
Yeah, you can start over you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it’s meant to be
But you can’t stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me
