Cat's Out Of The Bag - Patty Griffin

The word that I heard
Its all over town
I hear it clear from anyone who's ever been around
They say you been acting like
A ride on the whirl
While yer momma stays out the house like a lonely little girl
Ooooo baby ya had ta mess up such a sweet old thang
Sure do hate to be a drag now baby, but the cats out of the bag
The cats out of the bag

Speedy gonzalas on a winning streak ah
How I hate to spoil it but you finally sprung a leak
Hate to bust that bubble baby
Turn your stick to stone
But you should really turn around and drag your tail on home
Oooooo baby had to mess up such a sweet old thing
Sure do hate to be a drag now baby, but the cats out of the bag

Dont talk about it baby
Or spout it off at work
All your little girlfriends on the side call you a jerk
I hate to bust that bubble baby
Or turn your stick to stone
You should really turn around and drag your tail on home
Dont you ohhh

Never underestimate the power of a mouse
She turns into a tiger when you leave her out the house
Cut your heart out darlin, cook it in a stew
And then she'll go out that very night and find somebody new
Oooo baby ya had to mess up such a sweet old thang... yea no no no
Sure to hate to be a drag now baby but the cats out of the bag
The cats out of the bag
Yea yea yea the cats out of the bag
The cats out of the bag
