Alley Cat

Oh I've been going through a hell of a timeMaking sense of everything you left behindWhen I arrange it into columns and linesI always think it's adding up, but it never doesSo in the morning maybe I'll be alrightAnd through the day I'll prepare for the fightWith a fever on a Saturday nightCause this is giving me the shakes and butterflies, ohAnd if you don't stop running you can never breatheWhen everything you want is everything you seeBut when it comes to decision baby, him or meWell I hope you can feel the needWhat made you an alley cat scratching me?You dig deep with your nails and flash your teethAnd run off to where your next big meal could beWhat made you an alley cat scratching me?You dig deep with your nails and flash your teethAnd run off because you must be tired of meRun off because you must be tired of meAnd there's a scene I will always replayAt the moment when my hand touched your faceI could see your eyes turning awayBut I've been standing my ground with you babeAnd if you don't stop running you can never breatheWhen everything you want is everything you seeBut when it comes to decision baby, him or meWell I hope you can feel the needWhat made you an alley cat scratching me?You dig deep with your nails and flash your teethAnd run off to where your next big meal could beWhat made you an alley cat scratching me?You dig deep with your nails and flash your teethAnd run off because you must be tired of meRun off because you must be tired of meAnd now I fall in love with somebody everydayAs they step aside when I'm walking by, or smile at something I sayBut I promised you it would never get in the wayOf stability but the joke's on me, cause you were the one who got carried awayOh, you got carried awayWell he carried you awayCarried you awayCarried you awayCarried you away
