You say you're an alley cat
You say you're a tent in a storm
You say I need a house instead
And a man to keep me warm
You tell me you've got to be on your way
And even though I know you're right
Your smile and your style and your kaleidoscope eyes
Keep me up at night
But you're an alley cat
And you can't be tamed
And I know that
But I love you just the same
I'll always love being your lover
I'll always stay your friend
Hard to say goodbye
To your bedroom eyes and sighs
Even if everything eventually will end
Oh, alley cat
Before you slink into the night
Come rub up against me like that
And stay til morning light
Oh alley cat
When you wander wild and free
Through the city streets
Find your way back to me
Oh alley cat
Find your way back to me
