Lyrics
Feline Perogative
Music and Lyrics by Stuart Ridgway (c) 2003
Verse 1
Who's that boy over there?
Why are you staring at me?
I ain't got time for your games
I need some R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
If you're really gonna look
then walk this way.
Don't stand there like a wolf
licking your chops, stalking your prey.
Chorus 1
I've been around the block
I'm sick of these tired lines
And I don't care what you have to offer me.
You're just one in a dozen
I've seen your face a million times,
but buy me a drink, and maybe we'll see.
Verse 2
I know you wanna dance with me,
that comes as no surprise.
It's in the way you move your hips
and circle your thighs.
But before you lay a finger on me,
there's one thing that I've got to know,
Are you gonna take your time
'cause I like it real slow.
Chorus 2
I've been around the block
I'm sick of these tired lines
And I don't care what you have to offer me.
You're just one in a dozen
I've seen your face a million times,
but buy me a drink, and maybe we'll see.
Bridge
You think this feline's tough,
you think this feline's tough,
you think this feline's tough,
well that's my perogative.
You think this feline's tough,
you think this feline's tough,
well that's my, that's my,
well that's my perogative.
Verse 3
I'm a handful of woman
You are some kind of man.
So come on make your move
and see if you can
break down my defenses
big player, make the score, I'm
whatcha been, watcha been dreamin' about
But ya better be sure.
Chorus 3
I've been around the block
I'm sick of these tired lines
And I don't care what you have to offer me.
You're just one in a dozen
I've seen your face a million times,
but buy me a drink, and maybe we'll see.
Chorus 4 & 5
You think this feline's tough
Well that's my perogative
And I don't give a damn what you think that you can offer to me, no.
You are so one in a dozen
I've seen your face a million times,
So don't bother with the drink,
I've seen all there is to see.
