All the lonely nights I spend alone Never 'round to love me, you're always gone, 'Cause you're hanging out, breaking 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) till it's too late Don't understand why you insist On ways of livin' 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 Heartbeat, 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 Schemin', 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 livin' such a dangerous life, hoo Time after time, you stay away And I just know that you're telling me lies Not afraid to die Guitar Black cat Black cat Man, I don't understand your ways Livin' on the edge Don't understand why you insist On ways of livin' such a dangerous life, hoo Time after time, you stay away And I just know that you're telling me lies, fellas Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights Livin' on the edge, not afraid to die (talkin' 'bout the man) Heartbeat, real strong, but not for long Better watch your step or you're gonna die (sing it up) Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights (yeah, yeah) Livin' on the edge, not afraid to die (Don't, don't, don't you die) Heartbeat, real strong, but not for long Better watch your step or you're gonna die Black cat Living' on the Heartbeat Better watch your step
