lyrics

What more, what more do you need
Than warm sun and a place to sleep
A little food in your belly
And a friend or two to keep?
I thought I’d be feral my whole life long
But little did I know
I’d end up tired and broken and broke
And for it, have nothing to show

I wanna be your housecat, I’ll stay at home every night
I wanna be your housecat, you make a girl feel alright




My God how I couldn’t wait to clean and preen
Stretch out full length and nap
My God how I couldn’t wait to sigh into your arms
And curl up in your lap
Don’t wanna do that stray cat strut no more
That life it just ain’t for me
All of a sudden it seems right here, right now
Is the only place I wanna be

I wanna be your housecat, I’ll stay at home every night
I wanna be your housecat, you make a girl feel alright

I wanna be your housecat, I’ll stay at home every night
I wanna be your housecat, you make a girl feel alright
