[Verse 1: Kelly Green]

Take a deep breath and straighten my spine

Telling myself I made a mess of it this time

Gather my pride and straighten my nerve

And I'm asking myself, is it a joke

Or something that I deserve?

Oh, I've been treed

I'm like a fly stuck on a wall

The air is so thick, I think I'm in for a big fall

Step on my head, pin me to the ground

The soles of your shoes are closer to you

Than anything else I have found


[Chorus: Kelly Green]

Cause I'm like a cat stuck in a tree

If I had any sense I'd just knock out my own teeth

Oh, I've been treed

I guess I know what patiencе means

[Post-Chorus: Jim Stanley, Kelly Green, and both]

If something is gonna steal my hеart

Let it be only one of a kind (Let it be one of a kind)

Ha ha, ha

Ha ha, ha


[Verse 2: Kelly Green]

I'll be a cat stuck in a tree

Or a half hour ad on late night TV

Selling a mop or a kind of perfume

It smells like the real thing

Turning heads when you walk in a room


[Chorus: Kelly Green]

Cause I'm like a cat stuck in a tree

If I had any sense, I'd just knock out my own teeth

Oh, I've been treed

I guess I know what patience means

[Post-Chorus: Jim Stanley, Kelly Green, and both]

If something is gonna steal my heart

Let it be only one of a kind (Let it be one of a kind)

Ha ha, ha

Ha ha, ha


[Bridge: Jim Stanley]

Gonna build it

Yes, I'm gonna buy it

I'm gonna suffer loss

Not gonna build it

Yes, I'm gonna buy it

I'm gonna suffer loss


[Outro: Kelly Green]

I'm like a fish stuck in a bowl

If I had any sense, I'd let you swallow me whole

Oh, I've been treed

I guess I know
