Guys Eyes
Animal Collective · Merriweather Post Pavilion [2009]
I really want to do just what my body wants to do
I really want to do just what my body needs to do
I really want to show to my girl that I want her
I really want to show to my girl that I need her
I really want to do just what my body wants to do
I really want to do just what my body needs to do
I really want to show to my girl that I want her
I really want to show to my girl that I need her
Need her
I need Her
I want to do just what my body needs to
I want to do just what my body needs to
I want to show to my girl that I need her
I want to show to my girl that I need her
So I used my mind
And I used my hand
It was what I want to do
What I want to do

If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and just keep them for you
If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you
If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and just keep them for you
If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you
If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and just keep them for you
(I'd keep it locked up just for you right now)
If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you
(I'd keep it locked up just for you right now)
If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and just keep them for you
I need her
If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and just keep them for you
If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you
(I'd keep it locked up just for you right now)
If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and just keep them for you
I really don't know what to do if my body should want to
What I want to do
