I´m a sure-fire pussy cat
I ain´t gonna tell you that
I´m giving myself away
You´re a real catch that´s a fact
I am gonna tell you that
Baby I want you to stay

My fever´s high your tide is low
Just don´t forget to love me
No no no no

Whatever you sold me
Whatever you feed me
It´s taking me over and over
I´m the cat that can fight it
Whenever I need it
Your kiss kills me with, desire

Young gun you´re the one
Lift me up and take me on
Just like you did in my dream
Sweet man I know you can
But I would never tell you that
Baby I´m diggin´ your scene

My fever´s high let´s roll the dice
But don´t forget I love you
No no no no

Whatever you sold me
Whatever you feed me
It´s taking me over and over
I´m the cat that can fight it
Whenever I need it
Your kiss kills me with

You´re contagious, I´m confusing
We can take this anywhere we like it
You´re amazing, so amusing
Your kiss kills me with desire

Whatever you sold me
Whatever you feed me
It´s taking me over and over
I´m the cat that can fight it
Whenever I need it
Your kiss kills me with, desire
