One, two, three, four, walk alone

Like an animal, like an animal

You lay your hands on everyone you know

Like an animal, like an animal
Reiterating the comparison of the person's actions to those of an animal.
No, no, yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis, possibly indicating conflicting emotions.
No, no, yeah, yeah
-It's getting hotter every day, every day
Expressing a sense of increasing difficulty in maintaining a relationship or connection.
I'm still right here, but it's getting harder to stay

Just being irresponsible

Anymore, anymore, anymore
-You make me crazy with, these games that you play
Describing frustration with the person's manipulative games and highlighting the importance of rules.
Don't count on me, 'cause there's some rules you don't break
