when the cat goes out

i'll do anything i can

to keep our love together one more time

sorry i deceived you

but you made it hard for me to stay in line

loving you came easy

but for reasons i'll explain i drift away

when the sun goes down and the cat goes out

the mice will play

last week you went to vegas with your friends

and left me here alone

i didn't mind you leaving

but it hurts when you don't call me when you're gone

see my mind begins to wander

and i'll find someone to take the hurt away

when the sun goes down and the cat goes out

the mice will play

loving you came easy

but for reasons i've explained i drift away

when the sun goes down and the cat goes out

the mice will play
