I lived in your shadow
   I drove your car
   You thought I belonged in your four walls
   I was never your bunny
   I was never, never your pet
   When you threw me out the window
   I landed on my feet
   Yeah you threw me out the window
   Like a, like a, like a cat
  
   Hey mister you can never own me
   I only let you hold me like a cat
   And mister you can never know me
   I only let you stroke me, like a, like a
  
   You thought I'd be purring
   Curled up by your fire
   Don't want to be kept for your desire
   You said I should be happy
   But it only made me sad
   And when you could never tame me
   That made you mad
   No you could never tame me
   Like a, like a, like a cat
  
   Hey mister you can never own me
   I only let you hold me like a cat
   And mister you can never know me
   I only let you stroke me
  
   You rescued me I didn't want to be saved
   I got tired of your missionary position babe
  
   When you threw me out the window
   I landed on my feet
   Yeah you threw me out the window
   Like, like a, like a cat
  
   Hey mister you can never own me
   I only let you hold me like a cat
   And mister you can never know me
  
   I only let you stroke me like a cat
   And mister you can never know me
   I only let you hold me like a
  
   No you never can own me
   Like a cat
   No you never can own me
   Like a cat
   No you never can own me
   Like a cat
