Black Cat
Jackson Janet Lyrics

All the lonely nights I spend alone
I spend my nights alone as you are not with me

Never 'round to love me
You are never there for me, to love me

You're always gone
You are always absent, not present with me

'Cause you're hangin' out
Because you are out, hanging with someone

Breakin' the rules
Breaking the established rules and regulations

Oh, the man has come
The authority figure has arrived

Lookin' for you
They are looking for you

You're a rebel now
You have turned into a rebel

Don't give a damn
You don't care about anything anymore

Always carrying on
You always continue what you are doing

With the gang
You are with the group of people

I'm tryin' to tell ya, boy
I am attempting to inform you, dude

It's a mistake
This is a mistake

You won't realize
You won't comprehend

'Til it's too late
Until it is too late

Why you insist
I don't understand why you continue

On ways of living such a dangerous life
By pursuing such a perilous lifestyle

Time after time, you stay away
Every time, you keep your distance

And I just know that you're telling me lies
Moreover, I am positive that you are not honest with me

Black cat, nine lives
Metaphorical black cat with its nine lives

Short days, long nights
Days are not sufficient, and nights are long

Livin' on the edge
Existing in a risky or precarious position

Not afraid to die
Not fearing death

Heart beat, real strong
My pulse is strong

But not for long
It won't last much longer

Better watch your step
You need to be cautious

Or you're gonna die
Otherwise, you shall face death

You're so together, boy
You appear put together

But just at a glance
But it is only apparent

You'll do anything
You will do anything

If given the chance
If the opportunity arises

Scheming, planning lies
Devising plans of deception

To get what you need
To attain what you desire

So full of promises
Making countless promises

That you never keep
But never following through

Don't you tell yourself
Don't convince yourself

That it's okay
That it is acceptable

Sick and tired of
I am tired of it

All of your games
All the deceitful actions and tactics

And you want me to stay
However, you demand that I stay

Aw, better change
You better change your ways

Makes no sense to me
It seems senseless to me

Your crazy ways
Your bizarre and unusual ways

(Fellas) black cat, nine lives
Hey guys, a metaphorical black cat with nine lives

Short days, long nights
Days are inadequate, and nights are prolonged

Livin' on the edge
Existing in a risky or precarious position

Not afraid to die (talking about me)
Not fearing death, mentioning the author herself

Heart beat real strong
My pulse is strong

But not for long
It won't last much longer

Better watch your step
You need to be careful

Or you're gonna die (sing it up)
Otherwise, you shall face death

Black cats, nine lives
Metaphorical black cats with their nine lives

Short days, long nights (yeah, yeah)
Days are inadequate, and nights are prolonged (yes, yes)

Livin' on the edge
Existing in a risky or precarious position

Not afraid to die (no, don't don't die)
Not fearing death (no, don't die)

Heart beat real strong
My pulse is strong

But not for long
It won't last much longer

Better watch your step
You need to be careful

Or you're gonna die
Otherwise, you shall face death

Black cats
Metaphorical black cats

Livin' on the
Existing in a dangerous position

Heartbeat
Heart rate

Better watch your step
You need to be careful
