Stray Cats Hate Me

[Verse]
Saw them in the alley shadows cold and thin
Tried to call out hey there let’s be friends again
But their eyes like daggers sharp and mean
Turned their tails walked off the scene

[Chorus]
Why do the stray cats hate me so
Every hiss every claw every sharp-eyed no
I offer them tuna but they just scoff
Feeling rejected cats laughing as they walk off

[Verse]
I wore my best coat patched and neat
Crouched down slow to seem less fleet
But they scattered like leaves in a wild gust
Leaving me in the dirt choking on dust

[Chorus]
Why do the stray cats hate me so
Every hiss every claw every sharp-eyed no
I offer them tuna but they just scoff
Feeling rejected cats laughing as they walk off

[Bridge]
Is it my cologne or the sound of my shoes
Maybe they sense my desperate blues
I tried to purr but it came out weird
Guess I’m the human all felines feared

[Chorus]
Why do the stray cats hate me so
Every hiss every claw every sharp-eyed no
I offer them tuna but they just scoff
Feeling rejected cats laughing as they walk off
