You shook me up, you took me down
Then you turned my world all around
You made your moves, you led me on
You grabbed my heart and then you tore it apart

You told me lies and then said: "no, no, no"
I paid the price but you still let me go

You can't treat this man
Like an animal victim
You won't trap me again
I'm no animal victim

Oh yeah

You picked me up, you shot me down
Then you left me cold on the ground
You locked me out and kept the key
You closed the door while I was beggin' for more

I feel the fire but you say: "no, no, no"
You pulled the wire and then you let me go

You can't treat this man
Like an animal victim
You've gotta understand
I'm no animal victim
You can't treat this man
Like an animal victim

I saw your heart and it was shining black
Just like the nails you used to scratch my back
Oh no
Oh yeah

I ain't your animal victim
I'm tired of wearing these chains
I ain't your animal victim
Won't let it happen again, no, no, no, no
Animal victim

You can't treat this man
Like an animal victim
You won't trap me again
I'm no animal victim

Animal, animal, animal victim (oh no)
Animal, animal victim
Animal, animal, animal victim (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Animal, animal victim
