Alley Cat Lyrics - Sherwood

Oh I've been going through a hell of a time 

Making sense of all that you left behind 

When I arrange it into columns and lines 

I always think it's adding up, but it never does 

So in the morning maybe I'll be alright 

And through the day I'll prepare for the fight 

With a fever on a Saturday night 

Cause this is giving me the shakes and butterflies, oh 

And if you don't stop running you can never breathe 

When everything you want is everything you see 

But when it comes to decision baby, him or me 

Well I hope you can feel the need 

What made you an alley cat scratching me? 

You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth 

And run off to where your next big meal could be 

What made you an alley cat scratching me? 

You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth 

And run off because you must be tired of me 

Run off because you must be tired of me 

And there's a scene I will always replay 

At the moment when my hand touched your face 

I could see your eyes turning away 

But I've been standing my ground with you babe 

And if you don't stop running you can never breathe 

When everything you want is everything you see 

But when it comes to decision baby, him or me 

Well I hope you can feel the need 

What made you an alley cat scratching me? 

You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth 

And run off to where your next big meal could be 

What made you an alley cat scratching me? 

You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth 

And run off because you must be tired of me 

Run off because you must be tired of me 

And now I fall in love with somebody everyday 

As they step aside when I'm walking by, or smile at something I say 

But I promised you it would never get in the way 

Of stability but the joke's on me 

cause you were the one who got carried away 

Oh, you got carried away 

Well he carried you away, oh 

Carried you away, oh 

Carried you away 

Carried you away
