Black Cat (“3 Snaps Up” 12″) Songtext
von Janet Jackson

All the lonely nights I spend alone
Never around to love me you′re always gone
Cause you're hangin′ out breakin' 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
Chorus:
Black cat nine lives short days long nights
Livin' on the edge not afraid to die
Heart beat 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, plannin′ 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...
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
Livin′ on the edge not afraid to die
Heart beat real strong but not for long
Better watch your step or you're gonna die (x2)
Black cat, Livin' on the, Heart beat, better watch your step.
