Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm so sorry
I got to leave my woman alone
Yeah, I'm so sorry
I got to leave my babe alone
Well, you know she got a crosseyed cat
Living without that man in her home
[Verse 2]
Every time I start to see this woman
He's in the corner growling or laying down
Every time I start to see this woman
He's in the corner growling or laying down
Yeah, you know he's too big to be a house cat
And he's too small to be a lion
There's somethin' wrong
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I stop by my baby's house
He starts jumping from wall to wall
Yeah, I stop by my honey's house
He starts jumping from wall to wall
Then he's looking cross-eyed at me
Sit back in the corner, boy, licked his paws
I'm mad at this cat, boy
Kill the cat
Kill the cat
[Verse 4]
Yeah, my woman got a crosseyed cat
Living with her there in her home
Yeah, my woman got a crosseyed cat
Living there with her boys in her home
Oh, you know I try so hard to go right
But it seem like everything, boy, I do is wrong
