[Verse 1]
My cat’s been pacing by the window,
Watching every car go by.
She don’t want a collar,
She don’t need a guy.
She’s independent Monday through Friday,
Living her very best life.
Then out of nowhere she remembers
A certain pair of hands one night.
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell her, “Girl, calm down.”
She flicks her tail like, “Please.”
One little memory later…
She’s climbing up the curtains with ease.
[Chorus]
My cat has needs,
And she’s not even subtle.
Starts purring at the thought,
Turns her brain into a puddle.
She ain’t writing love songs,
She ain’t planning forever.
She just remembers being spoiled,
And now nothing else feels better.
She’s practically drooling,
Just thinking back like that.
I’m trying to act unbothered…
Somebody come collect my cat.
[Verse 2]
I bought her toys, distractions,
Fresh catnip by the pound.
She gave me one dramatic look
Like, “That’s not what I’m talking about.”
She wants slow scratches,
Patient attention every time.
Now she’s judging every visitor
Against one memory in her mind.
[Bridge]
I’m over here saying,
“Standards! Self-control!”
She’s rolling on the carpet
Like she’s completely lost her soul.
I said, “It’s only been a few times.”
She said, “Exactly… and?”
[Final Chorus]
My cat has needs,
She makes absolutely no apologies.
One good experience
Created unreasonable expectations.
She’s not looking for romance,
She’s not trying to settle down.
She just hears a familiar knock
And suddenly she’s spinning circles around.
My heart says, “Behave yourself.”
My cat says, “I respectfully decline.”
Honestly…
She’s lucky she’s cute.
And all the neighborhood boys
Keep stopping by to pet the cat.
Funny thing is…
They all say she’s so sweet.
Guess that’s why
She gets so much attention.
(Meow.)
