[Verse 1:]
Like a hunter in the wilderness
I’m gonna try and do my best
I’m gonna use speed and finesse
I’m gonna getcha, getcha
Like a jaguar runnin’ through the night
I’m gonna hunt you down, I’m gonna strike
If I have to chase you for the rest of my life
I’m gonna getcha, getcha
[Chorus:]
Jaguar I am and you are mine
Jaguar – she loves a body fine
In heat, in love, in out, in time
Jaguar I am and you are mine
[Verse 2:]
Like a burnin’ sun in the noon sky
This kitty wants your body fine
Sure as 3 x 3 is 9
I’m gonna make that body mine
Jaguar {x2}
In heat, in love, in out, in time
Jaguar I am and you are mine
Oh yeah
Jaguar I am and you are mine
Jaguar – she loves a body fine
[Verse 3:]
Like a lion lives so he can roar
That’s what it is, baby – it’s you I’m living for
I’m gonna getcha, I’m gonna getcha, that’s a bet!
Cuz if I don’t getcha in this life, baby (If I don’t getcha in this life)
If I don’t getcha in this life, baby (If I don’t getcha in this life)
I’ll get you in the next
Jaguar {x3}
Jaguar I am and you are mine
Jaguar – she loves a body fine
In heat, in love, in out, in time
Jaguar I am and you are mine
Sho’mon {x3}
Like a hunter in the wilderness
I’m gonna getcha
Meow {repeat}
Jaguar
I’m gonna getcha, getcha
I’m gonna getcha
