- Lost Kitten Lyrics / with translationsDon't say yes if you can't say no
Victim of a system, say it isn't so
Squatted on the doorstep
Swallowed on the blow
Leaving without you, can't say no
Halfway starts with happiness for me
Halfway house, lost kitten in a street
Hit me where it hurts
I'm coming home to lose
Kitten on the catwalk, high-heeled shoes
No more hotheaded Saturdays
They got it, they want it, they give it away
Tell me one thing you would never do
I was looking for a hooker when I found you
You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine
But you got my eyes
When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you come undone
I cover it up
So open up I was coming onto you
Happy in the night-time, howling at the moon
Sipping on a cocktail, drinking in the loo
There's something about you that I hold on to
You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine
But you got my eyes
When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you blend
I cover it up
When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you come undone
I cover it up
They got it, they want it, they give it away (x4)
When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you come undone
I cover it up
Victim of a system, say it isn't so
Squatted on the doorstep
Swallowed on the blow
Leaving without you, can't say no
Halfway starts with happiness for me
Halfway house, lost kitten in a street
Hit me where it hurts
I'm coming home to lose
Kitten on the catwalk, high-heeled shoes
No more hotheaded Saturdays
They got it, they want it, they give it away
Tell me one thing you would never do
I was looking for a hooker when I found you
You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine
But you got my eyes
When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you come undone
I cover it up
So open up I was coming onto you
Sipping on a cocktail, drinking in the loo
There's something about you that I hold on to
You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine
But you got my eyes
When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you blend
I cover it up
When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you come undone
I cover it up
They got it, they want it, they give it away (x4)
When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you come undone
I cover it up
