Captive Lyrics
[Intro: Chris Brown]
P (P), C (C), D (D)
Ow! (Ow!)
The jungle (Oh), where danger happens
The jungle (Oh), I'll take you captive
The jungle (Oh), where danger happens
The jungle (Oh), I'll take you captive
[Verse 1: Chris Brown]
Come take a ride with Miss Wild Thing, yeah
I'm your tour guide for this wild safari
I'm tryna take you where my heart is, babe
Not like them other journeys, so far from ordinary
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown]
I can lure you in, I'm so clever with it
There's really nowhere to run, so you can just forget it
I set a trap and ooh, look how I caught you in it
I'm an animal, ani-ani-ani
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Andre Merritt]
You're coming with me, boy, no need to resist
Won't be released until I'm good and finished
Can't let you leave now
So whatever, whatever just won't work
I'm holding you captive (You cannot be released), captive
Holding you captive (I won't let you go), captive
Holding you captive (You wanna leave), you captive
Holding you captive (The answer is no), you captive, captive
P (P), C (C), D (D)
Ow! (Ow!)
The jungle (Oh), where danger happens
The jungle (Oh), I'll take you captive
The jungle (Oh), where danger happens
The jungle (Oh), I'll take you captive
[Verse 1: Chris Brown]
Come take a ride with Miss Wild Thing, yeah
I'm your tour guide for this wild safari
I'm tryna take you where my heart is, babe
Not like them other journeys, so far from ordinary
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown]
I can lure you in, I'm so clever with it
There's really nowhere to run, so you can just forget it
I set a trap and ooh, look how I caught you in it
I'm an animal, ani-ani-ani
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Andre Merritt]
You're coming with me, boy, no need to resist
Won't be released until I'm good and finished
Can't let you leave now
So whatever, whatever just won't work
I'm holding you captive (You cannot be released), captive
Holding you captive (I won't let you go), captive
Holding you captive (You wanna leave), you captive
Holding you captive (The answer is no), you captive, captive
[Post-Chorus: Chris Brown]
The jungle (Oh), where danger happens
The jungle (Oh), I'll take you captive
The jungle (Oh), where danger happens
The jungle (Oh), I'll take you captive
[Verse 2: Chris Brown]
Now that I got your full attention
I think it's time you learned your lesson
Locking you up and throwin' away the key
And, boy, you can forget it 'cause you belong to me, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown]
I can lure you in, I'm so clever with it
There's really nowhere to run, so you can just forget it
I set a trap and ooh, look how I caught you in it
I'm an animal, ani-ani-ani
