Story Behind The Song

My collaborator and I decided to respond to your listing for a halloween song that appealed to adults but we didn't want to just write that type of song so we wrote a pop tune with a dark twist and a smooth dance beat.

Song Description

An infectious midtempo pop song a la Christine Aguilera that describes a young woman's uncontrollable attraction to a hot guy. She believes these feelings are almost supernatural and that she is changing, somehow, losing her innocence. The hook is "you look so good, I wanna be bad," and that pretty much sums up her dilemma. It has elements of pop, R&B and even a smidge of rap-style vocalizing.

Lyrics

You slithered by me and I started to change

My friends are all worried, they tell me I'm strange

You touched me and set me on fire

I used to rest easy. I always slept tight.

No fantasies makin' me sweat through the night.

You woke up my animal desire!

Ooh Ooh, I'm like a wolf on the prowl

Ooh Ooh, I catch your scent and I growl

CHORUS

You look so good, I wanna be bad

and there's nothing I can do

I'm an animal cause you bring out the demon in me

You look so good, you're drivin' me mad

It's a nightmare comin' true

I'm an animal cause you bring out the demon in me

Only you bring out the demon baby

Got me sneakin' and a schemin' baby

Only you bring out the demon

Come, put out this fire!

Only you bring out the demon baby

Got me tossin' and bad dreamin' baby

Only you bring out the demon

Come quench this desire!

BRIDGE

I'm a demon; I'm aflame

and I'll never be the same

BACK-UP FOR BRIDGE

(I'm a demon; I'm aflame

and I'll never be the same)

VERSE 2

That night we stood kissin' in the full moon light

I floated on feelings I just couldn't fight

I've fallen under your spell

Now all I can think of is the taste of your kiss

I twitch, and I tremble; I hurt and I hiss

You're in my blood and, baby, I'm not well

Ooh Ooh, I'm like beast with a bone

Ooh Ooh, I taste your lips and I groan

CHORUS

You look so good, I wanna be bad

and there's nothin' I can do

I'm an animal cause you bring out the demon in me

You look so good, you're drivin' me me mad

It's a nightmare comin' true

I'm an animal cause you bring out the demon in me

Only you bring out the demon baby

Got me sneakin' and a schemin' baby

Only you bring out the demon

Come, put out this fire!

Only you bring out the demon baby

Got me tossin' and bad dreamin' baby

Only you bring out the demon

Come, quench this desire!

BACKUP:

Only you bring out the demon baby

Got me sneakin' and a schemin' baby

Only you bring out the demon baby

Got me tossin' and bad dreamin' baby

and

You look so good, I wanna be bad

and there's nothin' I can do

You look so good, you're drivin' me mad

It's a nightmare comin' true
