Black Cat Lyrics - Rhythm Nation 1814 - Janet Jackson

All the lonely nights, I spend alone 

Never around to love me, you're always gone 

'Cause you're hanging out, breaking the rules 

Oh, the man has come looking for you 

You're a rebel now, don't give a damn 

Always carrying on with the gang 

I'm trying to tell you, boy, it's a mistake 

You won't realize 'til it's too late 

Don't understand why you insist 

On ways of living such a dangerous life 

Time after time, you stay away 

And I just know that you're telling me lies 

Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights 

Living on the edge, not afraid to die 

Heartbeat, real strong but not for long 

Better watch your step or you're gonna die 

You're so together, boy but just at a glance 

You'll do anything if given a chance 

Scheming, planning lies to get what you need 

So full of promises that you never keep 

Don't you tell yourself that it's okay 

Sick and tired of all of your games 

And you want me to stay, ah, better change 

Makes no sense to me, your crazy ways 

Don't understand why you insist 

On ways of living such a dangerous life 

Time after time, you stay away 

And I just know that you're telling me lies 

Not afraid to die 

Black cat, black cat 

Man, I don't understand your ways 

Living on the edge 

Don't understand why you insist 

On ways of living such a dangerous life 

Time after time, you stay away 

And I just know that you're telling me lies 

Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights 

Living on the edge, not afraid to die 

Heartbeat, real strong but not for long 

Better watch your step or you're gonna die 

Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights 

Living on the edge, not afraid to die 

Heartbeat, real strong but not for long 

Better watch your step or you're gonna die 

Black cat, living' on the 

Heartbeat, better watch your step
