Black Cat

All the lonely nights I spend alone

Never around to love me, you're always gone

'Cause you're hanging out, breaking the rules

Oh, the man has come looking for you

You're a rebel now, don't give a damn

Always carrying on with the gang

I'm trying to tell you, boy, it's a mistake

You won't realize 'til it's too late

Don't understand why you insist

On ways of living such a dangerous life

Time after time, you stay away

And I just know that you're telling me lies

Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights

Living on the edge, not afraid to die

Heartbeat, real strong but not for long

Better watch your step or you're gonna die

You're so together, boy, but just at a glance

You'll do anything if given a chance

Scheming, planning lies to get what you need

So full of promises that you never keep

Don't you tell yourself that it's okay

Sick and tired of all of your games

And you want me to stay, ah, better change

Makes no sense to me, your crazy ways

Don't understand why you insist

On ways of living such a dangerous life

Time after time, you stay away

And I just know that you're telling me lies

Not afraid to die

Black cat

Black cat

Man, I don't understand your ways

Living on the edge

Don't understand why you insist

On ways of living such a dangerous life

Time after time, you stay away

And I just know that you're telling me lies

Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights

Living on the edge, not afraid to die

Heartbeat, real strong but not for long

Better watch your step or you're gonna die

Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights

Living on the edge, not afraid to die

Heartbeat, real strong but not for long

Better watch your step or you're gonna die

Black cat

Living' on the

Heartbeat

Better watch your step
