That's Why I Got a Cat Instead Video (MV)

I met a guy with a charming grin Thought he was different, let him in
He promised the stars just us two Forgot to mention his words weren't true
Every time it's the same old tale Promises that shit's always safe to say
I've had enough, I'm done, I said That's why I got a cat instead

That's why I got a cat instead That's why I got a cat instead
That's why I got a cat instead That's why I got a cat instead
That's why I got a cat instead That's why I got a cat instead
Next up a guy with a guitar Sang me songs under the stars

The tunes turned off when the sun came up Left me alone, just me and my cup
Every serenade just to be in the show That's the song that you truly know
I've learned my lesson clear and plain With my cat I won't complain
That's why I got a cat instead He listens more 'cos, he's fed

No more games, no more play With my cat, it's pure game
Oh, I've danced to the stories sent to us Each leaving me needless and gasped
But in my corner, soft and quiet His whininess does never rise
Now I laugh with a flick of his tail He doesn't bail, he doesn't fail

Too thick and thin, he's got no side In his paws, my heart, it dies
That's why I got a cat instead That's why I got a cat instead
That's why, that's why I got a cat instead That's why
So here we are, just me and my cat He's all the love I need

That's that, it's that No more searching, no retreat
Found my peace, yeah, that's alright, so right Got my cat, got my peace
It's perfect, my rest That's why I got a cat instead
No more tears, just bursting my best That's why I got a cat instead

That's why I got a cat instead That's why, that's why I got a cat instead
So here we are, just me and my cat
