I'm the Cat

Baby, I'm around you enough to know when you're coming down

And I am there with a smile, prepared to bring you around

You're thinking that you've got me trained

I'm aware of thatBut when you need your outlook changed

Baby, I'm the cat

Baby, I'm allowed to be late when I'm coming home

You know I'll be there when I want toAnd you let me roam

You think you've got me figured out

I don't know about that

But when you want to twist and shoutBaby, I'm the cat

Baby, I might not be all that

Your fortune cookie promised you

But I will doI'm the cat

Baby I . . . Baby I'm the cat

Oh yeah . . . Baby I'm the cat

Baby, I'm in love with the way you scratch my backYou've got the only thing I want

And that's a fact

And when sometimes we disagree

You take me to the matBut when I get you spinning free

Baby I'm the cat

Baby, I might not be all that

The gypsy woman prophesiedBut be advised

I'm the cat

Baby I might not be all that

Your Magic 8 Ball said I'd beBut you will see

I'm the cat

Baby I... Baby I'm the cat

Oh yeah... Baby I'm the cat
