Black Cat

VERSE 1
She's a black cat with a diamond studded collar
She owns the desert strip on which she runs
Prancing with a smile that makes you wonder
Is she sweet or is she savvy
Is she cunning, is she catty
CHORUS
You think you own her, think you control her
But she’s a creature of the night, a profiteer
You think you’ll tame her, but you will blame her
When daylight makes your dollars disappear
VERSE 2
She’s a feline with a form so fine you’ll grovel
Just to hear her purr your name
You’ll forget yourself, your life, your love, your sorrow
You won’t believe her when she says
She’s only in it for the gain
CHORUS
You think you own her, think you control her
But she’s a creature of the night, a profiteer
You think you’ll tame her, but you will blame her
When daylight makes your dollars disappear
BRIDGE
She'll curl up on your windowsill
Telling you sweet
Telling you sweet
She'll curl up on the windowsill
Of your imaginary mansion
In Beverly Hills
