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 living 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
Living 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
Scheming, planning 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 living 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

Black cat
Man, I don't understand your ways
Living on the edge
Don't understand why you insist
On ways of living 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
Living on the edge, not afraid to die (talking '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)
Living 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
