Every time I see you I’m on edge, saw you dart in and out of

Strain my neck to watch you dancing carefree across the upstairs

Couldn’t look away and I know you felt the same, you made a

Dogs should bark and chase cats, so they say and we both

Only when I look at you I forget all that, I don’t want to

Despite everyone saying that it will never happen we can

After being left with a flat, broken cars and cell phones

Kept on strutting together as if nothing had ever even

Woof, meow, we gotta go. Chow
