Number One Lyrics

Number One (aka Animal)

written by Mary Simon & Sarah Beatty

I would like to tell a story

Of when I met a tiger without a gun

Oh she marked her territory

And she knew for fact that I would come

My first instincts, oh they told me

That you should hightail out and run

But I stood my ground to face her

And our eyes locked in and we were one

I am an animal

I can roar and fight, scream and bite

If I don't like your smell

I am an animal

Step on back or I'll attack

Defending number one

I saw hunters chasing after

Only for her head or for her skin

All defences started melting

And I sat real still and let her in
