I saw her sitting at the ice cream counter.,
she gave me that sideways glance.
Couldn't help but notice her,
thought I might have a chance.
At sixteen my mind was on watching girls,
so many shapes to enjoy
She set my teenage brain in a whirl,
spinning like a top or some toy.

pre chorus
Something about her made me look back
I could see that she had quite the rack.

chorus
She had me without even trying,
All I could do was follow her scent.
I couldn't hide it no I'm not lying.
Animal instinct, hunger hell bent.
Animal instinct, following animal instinct.

I wiped the drool from the side of my mouth,
and bolstered up my courage.
Usual lines would surely go south,
I still wanted to scratch that itch

repeat chorus

Dog on the prowl, sat down next to her
I could hardly say a word.
Sixteen, tongue tied and unsure
Animal instinct trapped and lured

outro
Caught in the snare of animal instinct
