Adam James - Tom Cat Lyrics

Tom Cat

When I met you at the station
You were standing with your head in your hands.
So damn tired of excuses
For the way I've been elusive and grim.

These Tom cat eyes, a poor disguise.

What is innocent at first
Has the tendency to twist and turn.
I couldn't make it past the mark
From spring fling to summer love.

These Tom cat eyes, could tell no lies.

I could never get close to you
I never really bothered to.
I should have known better than to break your heart in two.

I didn't try out for the part
But still ended up with the role.
It became so easy to dismiss
Consequence for carnal bliss.

This Tom cat's cry became a whine.

And I could never get close to you
I never really bothered to.
I should have known better than to break your heart in two.

I'm not around.
I'm a wanderer and a stray.
I know I'm not the first breed
To tightrope walk with such ease.
I won't howl at the moon
If I can swoon her more discreetly.

And I could never get close to you
I never really bothered to.
I should have known better than to break your heart...
And I could never get close to you.
You'd think I'd really wanted to.
I should have known better than to break your heart.
Should've known better than to break your heart.
I should have known better
Not to break your heart in two.
