Baby, I'm around you enough to know when you're coming down

And I am there with a smile, prepared to bring you around

You're thinking that you've got me trained

I'm aware of that

But when you need your outlook changed

Baby, I'm the cat



Baby, I'm allowed to be late when I'm coming home

You know I'll be there when I want to

And you let me roam

You think you've got me figured out

I don't know about that

But when you want to twist and shout

Baby, I'm the cat



Baby, I might not be all that

Your fortune cookie promised you

But I will do

I'm the cat

Baby I . . . Baby I'm the cat

Oh yeah . . . Baby I'm the cat



Baby, I'm in love with the way you scratch my back

You've got the only thing I want

And that's a fact

And when sometimes we disagree

You take me to the mat

But when I get you spinning free

Baby I'm the cat



Baby, I might not be all that

The gypsy woman prophesized

But be advised

I'm the cat

Baby I might not be all that

Your Magic 8 Ball said I'd be

But you will see

I'm the cat

Baby I . . . Baby I'm the cat

Oh yeah . . . Baby I'm the cat
