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
