lyrics

I’ve been walking down Orleans Avenue
With nothing on my mind but me and you
I’ve been thinking about your face
And them pretty little hands sitting on your waist
I can’t keep this to myself
I love you little mama don’t you put me on a shelf

Because that’d be
Mean like an alley cat sounds like a broken record
Mean like an alley cat sounds like a broken record now
Mean like an alley cat sounds like a broken record
Mean like an alley cat sounds like a broken record now

Come on baby let’s get a little crazy
Take a little walk with me
Come on baby let’s not be lazy now
Take a little walk with me

I’ve been drinking for days now
I’ve been dreaming for years
I’ve been drinking for days now
I’ve been dreaming of you for years

It’s something about that summer sun
And the way you keep my name right on your tongue
I’m feeling like an animal a little untamed
Come on little mama just a little spare change
It must’ve been fate that brought you my way
Come on little mama don’t just throw me away

Because that’d be
Mean like an alley cat sounds like a broken record
Mean like an alley cat sounds like a broken record now

Come on baby now we can make it now
Take a little walk with me
Come on baby now you can save me now
Take a little walk with me

I’ve been drinking for days now
I’ve been dreaming for years
I’ve been drinking for days now
I’ve been dreaming of you for years

Mean like an alley cat
Sounds like a broken record
Mean like an alley cat
Sounds like a broken record
