About This Track

'Hunter' finds Pharrell adopting the voice of an amorous woman in pursuit of her affections, the track built around a metaphor of relentless desire. He dramatises the intensity of wanting someone, casting it as an animal instinct that won't be denied, the rhythm grinding and insistent beneath his vocals. The song sits comfortably in the opulent, soulful production that defines the album, playful rather than menacing, desire rendered as a kind of inevitable force.

"Hunter" is a track by Pharrell Williams, from the album G I R L, released 3rd March 2014. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Hunter

[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 1]

I, I show my teeth

And I hope you know that look in my eyes

Hey

I got lightnin' speed

I won't hesitate to rescue what is mine

[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 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
