Story Behind The Song

Just a song that describes many relationships

Song Description

A woman who realizes she must move on and "like a cat" bats him away. Her realization unfolds as it stats with her questioning why she loves him when he doesn't love her. Then she finds her own strength.

Lyrics

Like a Cat
Words and music by Amber Snider (c)2010, Puddle Siren Music

Verse:

Like a cat she bats him away, doesn't wanna see his face

She said you took too much and you didn't put back so now you gotta pay

But it's not like I don't love you, it's not like I don't need you too

I'm just tired of you and the pain that you put me through

Verse:
Like a cat she bats him away doesn't wanna see his face
She says I wanna get outta here some day I wanna leave this place
Why should I love you? After what you've done to me?
I put no one above you but you put another love between you and me

Verse:
Like a cat she bats him away, doesn't wanna see his face
She says you gotta go now, you gotta leave this place
Why should I love you? After what you've done to me?
Why should I love you? When you don't love me?

Bridge:

Everytime I try to give you what I want in return
It always ends up as a lesson I have to learn

Verse:
Like a cat she bats him away he's a fly on honey
He's rich with empty promise and he uses her money
She says why do I love you? After what you put me through?
I put no one above you and that includes me too.

Verse:
Like a cat she bats him away and licks her wounds
Gotta find me some peace man gotta howl at the moon
Cuz it's time for changing and it's none too soon
It's time for me to love me and not you
