I'll do anything i can to keep our love together one more time
Sorry i deceived you
You made it hard for me to stay in line
Loving you came easy, but for reasons i'll explain i drift away
When the sun goes down and the cat goes out
The mice will play
Last week you went to vegas with your friends
And left me here alone
I didn't mind you leavin'
But it hurts when you don't call me when you're gone
See my mind begins to wander
And i'll find someone to take the hurt away
When the sun goes down and the cat goes out
The mice will play
Loving you came easy, but for reasons i've explained i drift away
When the sun goes down and the cat goes out
The mice will play
