About Kitty Kat

"Kitty Kat" is a song recorded by American singer Beyoncé for her second studio album, B'Day (2006). It was composed by Beyoncé, Pharrell Williams, and Shawn Carter. "Kitty Kat" is a mid-tempo R&B song whose lyrics detail a situation where a woman feels that her man has underestimated her. The song was generally well received by music critics who noted it to be a seductive track thanks to its "I'm not feelin[g] it" vibe. However, some music critics felt that the production does not live up to those of other songs featured on B'Day. "Kitty Kat" was never released as a single but it garnered airplay on R&B radio stations, thus managing to chart on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where it reached a high point of #66 in May 2007. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Melina Matsoukas and co-directed by Knowles for the B'Day Anthology Video Album (2007). It is only one-minute long and it serves as the introduction of the music video for "Green Light" (2007). The video for "Kitty Kat" features Knowles showing cat-like eyes with leopard print make-up and fashion on. In some parts of the clip, Knowles rides on an oversized black cat.

You know I hate sleeping alone
But you said that you would soon be home
But baby, that was a long time ago

I'm not feeling it, I'm not feelin' it
On top of you not callin' me back
You see, I bet you think it's all on track
And you actin' like it's all o' that
I'm not feelin' it, I'm not feelin' it

Let's go, let's go little kitty cat
I think its time to go, let's go little kitty cat
He don't want no mo', let's go little kitty cat
Quite frankly no more givin' it
I'm not feelin' it

It's like we at two places, but different paces
We in trouble but you won't meet me at the bridge
It hurts, it feels deserted
Did you forget where your heart lives?

What about my body, body?
You don't want my body, body?
Acting like I'm not nobody
You gon' make me call somebody
What about my body, body?
What about my body, body?
You would rather go and party
Somehow somewhere I'll be naughty

You know I hate sleeping alone
But you said that you would soon be home
But baby, that was a long time ago

I'm not feeling it, I'm not feelin' it
On top of you not callin' me back
You see, I bet you think it's all on track
And you actin' like it's all o' that
I'm not feelin' it, I'm not feelin' it

Let's go, let's go little kitty cat
I think it's time to go, let's go little kitty cat
He don't want no mo', let's go little kitty cat
Quite frankly it let me show you how to get there (no more givin'I'm not feelin' it)

Take a left to compassion (lights will be flashin')
Keep straight and you'll see the sun right there
Affection (you're in the wrong direction)
If I get caught, see, it just seems that you don't care

What about my body, body?
You don't want my body, body
Acting like I'm not nobody
You gon' make me call somebody
What about my body, body?
What about my body, body?
You would rather go and party
Somehow, somewhere I'll be naughty

You know I hate sleeping alone
But you said that you would soon be home
But baby, that was a long time ago

I'm not feeling it, I'm not feelin' it
On top of you not callin' me back
You see, I bet you think it's all on track
And you actin' like it's all o' that
I'm not feelin' it, I'm not feelin' it

Let's go, let's go little kitty cat
I think it's time to go, let's go little kitty cat
He don't want no mo', let's go little kitty cat
Quite frankly no more givin' it
I'm not feelin' it

I'm taking back the things I got from you, you
And that includes my sweet little nooky too, too
Let's go, let's go, let's go little kitty cat (kitty cat)
He don't want you anymore, no 
Let's go

Let's go, let's go little kitty cat (kitty cat)
He don't want you anymore, no

Got diamonds on my neck, got diamonds on my records
Since sixteen I was coming down ridin' Lexus'
How you gon' neglect this? You is just a hot mess
You can call Tyrone, you ain't gots to lie Craig

What about my body, body?
What about by my body, body?
I'm in the house all alone, you rather go and party?
What about my body, body?
You don't want my body, body?
Acting like I'm nobody
You gon' make me call somebody

Let's go, let's go little kitty cat
I think it's time to go
Let's go, little kitty cat
He ain't want no mo'
Let's go little kitty cat
No mo getting' it, I'm not feelin' it
