Verse

 Oh I've been going through a hell of a time

 Making sense of all that you left behind

 When I arrange it into columns and lines

 I always think it's adding up, but it never does

 So in the morning maybe I'll be alright

 And through the day I'll prepare for the fight

 With a fever on a Saturday night

 Cause this is giving me the shakes and butterflies, oh

Bridge1

 And if you don't stop running you can never breathe

 When everything you want is everything you see

 But when it comes to decision baby, him or me

 Well I hope you can fill the need

Chorus

What made you an alley cat scratching me?

 You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth

 And run off to where your next big meal could be

What made you an alley cat scratching me?

 You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth

 And run off because you must be tired of me

Run off because you must be tired of me

Verse

And there's a scene I will always replay

At the moment when my hand touched your face

I could see your eyes turning away

But I've been standing my ground with you babe

Bridge1

And if you don't stop running you can never breathe

When everything you want is everything you see

But when it comes to decision baby, him or me

Well I hope you can fill the need

Chorus

What made you an alley cat scratching me?

You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth

And run off to where your next big meal could be

What made you an alley cat scratching me?

You dig deep with your nails and flash your teeth

And run off because you must be tired of me

Run off because you must be tired of me

Verse

And now I fall in love with somebody everyday

As they step aside when I'm walking by, or smile at something I say

But I promised you it would never get in the way

Of stability but the joke's on me, cause you were the one who got carried away

Oh, you got carried away

Well he carried you away

Carried you away

Carried you away

Carried you away
