Oh I've been going through a hell of a time Making sense of everything 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 bu*terflies, 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 at bay 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
