[Verse 1]
I've never been the kind
To fall in love
It's just me and a couple of fleas
And that's all I want
'Cause I've got my back and my back's got me
And I'm good as good can be
Is what I thought
Until I met you

[Verse 2]
As branches swayed
In the autumn breeze
Our amber eyes
Met between the leaves
And somehow every sound around me
Had broken into harmony
I'd never heard a sweeter melody

[Chorus]
And I've been thinking for some time
How to spend all these nine lives
I guess just maybe I could spend one on you

[Verse 3]
I don't know why I feel the way I do
My head's a little fuzzy
And my feelings are all askew
And one thing I know is true
Is that I'd go black and blue
To see you through
Mmm
[Verse 4]
Let's run away
With our muddy paws in the rain
And watch the clouds part ways
And as the stars beam down upon us
A somber shadow moves again
I never want this precious time to end

[Chorus]
And I've been thinking for some time
How to spend all these nine lives
I suppose I could use another one or two

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
And in the moon's pale gaze
I ponder all those days I spent alone, mmm
But now it's me and you
And there's nothing that we can't do
And now you are around
We'll catch all the mice in town

[Verse 5]
And as we lay
In the warm sunrise
Becoming freshly baked sunshine pies
I'll purr as sweet as a choir of angels
And louder than a symphony
'Cause there's no place I'd rather be
[Chorus]
And I've been thinking for sometime
How to spend all these nine lives
Maybe I could spend them on you

[Outro]
Oh, just maybe one or two
I think I'd like to spend them on you
