Lyrics

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
