When The Cat's Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah
Just listen
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, oh, oh
It's got to be time that
I put my foot down
You push me and pull me
With those games you're playin'
And you know what goes around
Comes around
'Cause I've started hearin'
All the words they're sayin'
You're so conceited
I won't be cheated
Just listen
One little push and
You're gone
Every time the cat's away
All the boys come out to play
Bad behaviour
But I like the flavour
A little bird told me it's true
So I do it back to you
Nice girls don't do it
But you push me to it
Ooh, oh oh
Ooh, ha ha ha
Ooh, oh oh
Ooh, ha ha ha
I'm needin' some liberation
Set me free
You try to control me
But I'm disobeyin'
I'm tired of you givin' me
The third degree
When I've got a lead on you
To stop you strayin'
You're so conceited
I won't be cheated
Just listen
One little push and
You're gone
Every time the cat's away
All the boys come out to play
Bad behaviour
But I like the flavour
A little bird told me it's true
So I do it back to you
Nice girls don't do it
But you push me to it
Every time the cat's away
All the boys come out to play
Bad behaviour
But I like the flavour
A little bird told me it's true
So I do it back to you
Nice girls don't do it
But you push me to it
Ooh, oh oh
Ooh, ha ha ha
Ooh, oh oh
Ooh, ha ha ha
Ooh, oh oh
Ooh, ha ha ha
Ooh, oh oh
Ooh, ha ha ha
Every time the cat's away
All the boys come out to play
Bad behaviour
But I like the flavour
A little bird told me it's true
So I do it back to you
Nice girls don't do it
But you push me to it
