Alley Cats
Deep in the summer of sweat I found Serena
Looked back at my baby, she was dancing like a ballerina
I said, “You better not be feeding ‘em strays, they don’t mean you no good”
Said she’d rather break half the law than to take my advice, hell she’s so good
And her black-cat boogie gonna shake the whole town to its sneakers
Until the fat-back sheriff put a PSA all over the speakers
We were running, we were singing, we were loving all under the bleachers
She was laughing and pretending that the eye in the sky couldn’t see us
I guess you better know something I don’t know
I guess you better know something I don’t know
I guess you better put on them applejack jeans to show off
Well, I’m never gonna leave it alone
Oh, I’m never gonna right these wrongs
I got it bad, bad, bad
Like a fire burning through my chest
She won’t ever let the wicked rest
She got it bad, bad, bad
There’s a fire burning through that dress
She won’t ever let the wicked rest
She got it bad
Deep in the summer of the red, red wine, we were sleeping
She starts talking in her sleep, when she wakes she can hardly breath in
“Know you got wild dreams, but is now the time you gotta be leaving?”
She said, “I better hop that train while I still got the tracks to believe in”
I guess you better know something I don’t know
I guess you better know something I don’t know
I hate it how you put on them applejack jeans to show off
Well, I’m never gonna leave it alone
Oh, I’m never gonna right these wrongs
I said, we ain’t never gonna leave it alone
Oh, we ain’t never gonna right these wrongs
I got it bad, bad, bad
Like a fire burning through my chest
She won’t ever let the wicked rest
She got it bad, bad, bad
Like a fire burning through that dress
She won’t ever let the wicked rest
She got it bad, bad, bad
She got it bad
She got it bad, bad, bad
She got it bad, she got it bad
