Like A Cat - Cyndi Lauper

I lived in your shadow

I drove your car

You thought I belonged in your four walls

I was never your bunny

I was never, never your pet

When you threw me out the window

I landed on my feet

Yeah you threw me out the window

Like a, like a, like a cat

Hey mister you can never own me I only let you hold me like a cat

And mister you can never know me I only let you stroke me, like a, like a You thought I’d be purring

Curled up by your fire

Don’t want to be kept for your desire

You said I should be happy

But it only made me sad

And when you could never tame me That made you mad

No you could never tame me Like a, like a, like a cat

Hey mister you can never own me I only let you hold me like a cat

And mister you can never know me I only let you stroke me You rescued me I didn’t want to be saved

I got tired of your missionary position babe

When you threw me out the window

I landed on my feet

Yeah you threw me out the window

Like, like a, like a cat

Hey mister you can never own me I only let you hold me like a cat

And mister you can never know me I only let you stroke me like a cat

And mister you can never know me I only let you hold me like a No you never can own me Like a cat

No you never can own me Like a cat

No you never can own me Like a cat
