[Verse 1]

I've never been the kind

To fall in love

It's just me and a couple of fleas

And that's all I want

'Cause I've got my back and my back's got me

And I'm good as good can be

Is what I thought

Until I met you

[Verse 2]

As branches swayed

In the autumn breeze

Our amber eyes

Met between the leaves

And somehow every sound around me

Had broken into harmony

I'd never heard a sweeter melody

[Chorus]

And I've been thinking for some time

How to spend all these nine lives

I guess just maybe I could spend one on you

[Verse 3]

I don't know why I feel the way I do

My head's a little fuzzy

And my feelings are all askew

And one thing I know is true

Is that I'd go black and blue

To see you through

Mmm

[Verse 4]

Let's run away

With our muddy paws in the rain

And watch the clouds part ways

And as the stars beam down upon us

A somber shadow moves again

I never want this precious time to end

[Chorus]

And I've been thinking for some time

How to spend all these nine lives

I suppose I could use another one or two

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

And in the moon's pale gaze

I ponder all those days I spent alone, mmm

But now it's me and you

And there's nothing that we can't do

And now you are around

We'll catch all the mice in town

[Verse 5]

And as we lay

In the warm sunrise

Becoming freshly baked sunshine pies

I'll purr as sweet as a choir of angels

And louder than a symphony

'Cause there's no place I'd rather be

[Chorus]

And I've been thinking for sometime

How to spend all these nine lives

Maybe I could spend them on you

[Outro]

Oh, just maybe one or two

I think I'd like to spend them on you
