I don't like th story of fool and the cat and I won't be the fool this time.
I don't even dare to think of you like that
But I want you so bad I can't help but daydream
It's in my head and I'm glad you can't hear it
Because that would be bad.
So just today we met and I caught myself staring
Ain't it funny that you come when I go
I know your reality looks different but in my head you go
For walks with me, make love to me, watch everyone else with me.
But you're a cat you don't bother
Making friends or holding hands or sharing bands
You're a cat, you're just good for yourself
And if you want to mate
Whoop, there she is
Whether the girl next door or the girl from beyon
You just pick as they stand in line in your front
You're a cat, you don't bother.
Me, I am different, I'm more like a dog.
Playing, pleading for attention a lot.
Every harsh word from you'll make me try even harder
to be who you want, to be what you ordered.
I will be there if you want someone to snuggle.
But you'll have to be urgent if you want me to bug off.
I don't want to be rude but I guess you should go
The sooner you're off, the better
You know
I don't like the story of fool and the cat
And I won't be the fool this time
So much for that
