Hunter Lyrics

[Chorus]
Just because it's the middle of night
That don't mean I won't hunt you down
'Cause up, in, deep inside
It's pullin' me and I want your love
You and I should be gettin' it right
Ain't no sense in you holdin' on down
If I can't have you, nobody can
This an animal speakin' that'll hunt you down
So baby, ooh-hoo
My love is callin', ooh-hoo
Hey baby, ooh-hoo
My love is callin', ooh-hoo
Hey baby, ooh-hoo
Sex is callin', ooh-hoo
Hey baby, ooh-hoo
My love is callin', ooh-hoo

[Verse 2]
Taxidermy is on my walls
With the full description of the killin' cause
I'm a hunter
Cupid, thank you for what you did
But you can't aim and get what I get
I'm a hunter

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, hold up, baby, what's goin' on?
Tell the truth, I wanna know
What you're doin' when you go
Somethin' say you ain't alone
You say, "Baby, keep holdin' on"
What you mean? I've been holdin' on
I ain't ever smelled this before
Somethin' say it's time to go

[Chorus]
Just because it's the middle of night
That don't mean I won't hunt you down
'Cause up, in, deep inside
It's pullin' me and I want your love
You and I should be gettin' it right
Ain't no sense in you holdin' on down
If I can't have you, nobody can
This an animal speakin' that'll hunt you down
So baby, ooh-hoo
My love is callin', ooh-hoo
Hey baby, ooh-hoo
My love is callin', ooh-hoo
Hey baby, ooh-hoo
Sex is callin', ooh-hoo
Hey baby, ooh-hoo
My love is callin', ooh-hoo
[Verse 3]
Duck Dynasty's cool and all
But they got nothin' on a female's call

I'm a hunter
Is that a tree, is that camouflage?
Come get eaten by the damn mirage
I'm a hunter


[Pre-Chorus]
Well, hold up, baby, what's goin' on?
Tell the truth, I wanna know
What you're doin' when you go
Somethin' say you ain't alone
You say, "Baby, keep holdin' on"
What you mean? I've been holdin' on
I ain't ever smelled this before
Somethin' say it's time to go

[Bridge]
You're leaving me
Why else would you let it go?
You can't be serious
You know what's in my blood, hey

[Outro]
So baby, ooh-hoo
My love is calling, ooh-hoo
Hey baby, ooh-hoo
My love is calling, ooh-hoo
Hey baby, ooh-hoo
Sex is calling, ooh-hoo
Hey hey baby, ooh-hoo
My love is calling, ooh-hoo

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
