Oh I've been going through a hell of a time
|
Making sense of all that you left behind
|
When I arrange it into columns and lines
|
I always think it's adding up, but it never does
|
So in the morning maybe I'll be alright
|
And through the day I'll prepare for the fight
|
With a fever on a Saturday night
|
Cause this is giving me the shakes and butterflies, oh
|
|
And if you don't stop running you can never breathe
|
When everything you want is everything you see
|
But when it comes to decision baby, him or me
|
Well I hope you can feel the need
|
|
What made you an alley cat scratching me?
|
You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth
|
And run off to where your next big meal could be
|
What made you an alley cat scratching me?
|
You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth
|
And run off because you must be tired of me
|
Run off because you must be tired of me
|
|
And there's a scene I will always replay
|
At the moment when my hand touched your face
|
I could see your eyes turning away
|
But I've been standing my ground with you babe
|
|
And if you don't stop running you can never breathe
|
When everything you want is everything you see
|
But when it comes to decision baby, him or me
|
Well I hope you can feel the need
|
|
What made you an alley cat scratching me?
|
You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth
|
And run off to where your next big meal could be
|
What made you an alley cat scratching me?
|
You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth
|
And run off because you must be tired of me
|
Run off because you must be tired of me
|
|
And now I fall in love with somebody everyday
|
As they step aside when I'm walking by, or smile at something I say
|
But I promised you it would never get in the way
|
Of stability but the joke's on me, cause you were the one who got carried away
|
Oh, you got carried away
|
Well he carried you away
|
Carried you away
|
Carried you away
|
Carried you away
|
