(OH YOU) SICK LITTLE ANIMAL

my pretty colette
if you were a vet
i would lie down on the sofa like a broken hearted pet
and i wouldn’t need words
i would just raise a paw
and my owner would take me
to see you once more and you would say…

oh you sick little animal
i wanna take you home
with your soft fur coat and puppy-dog eyes
how could anybody leave you alone?
oh you sick little animal
i want you to know
that i’m under your spell and if you love me as well
i’ll never let you go

my pretty colette
if you were a vet
i would lie down on the pavement like a sad abandoned pet
and when you came home
i’d be there at your front door
and you’d pick me up and call me
the cutest thing you ever saw
then you would say

oh you sick little animal…

you would find me quite sympathetic
under general anaesthetic
i think that you’re perfection
so won’t you give me another injection

i am a sick little animal
i am sick
i am a sick little animal
i’m sooo sick
