NINE LIVES
(Brian Setzer - Lee Rocker - Slim Jim Phantom)
THE STRAY CATS (EMI, 1989)

Well, I got nine lives baby, I just keep a-comin' back
I got nine lives baby, I just keep a-comin' back, oh yeah
I got nine lives, I nearly lost them all
But each and every time I really had a ball
I got nine lives baby, I just keep a-comin' back
First time that it happened, well how was I to know
She loved me then she left me, it was a long-long time ago
Numbers eight and seven, well they flew by like the wind
Don't stick around for me baby, I'm comin' back again
I got nine lives baby, I just keep a-comin' back
I got nine lives baby, I just keep a-comin' back
I got nine lives, I nearly lost them all
But each and every time I really had a ball
I got nine lives baby, I just keep a-comin' back
(Ooow!)

I had fun with number six, but baby I got stuck on five
She's a golden memory honey, yeah she burried me alive
Four and three got faded, but watch out for number two
That one almost killed me,
Now don't ya think it can't happen to you
I got just one life left, I'm gonna live it all!
I just won't let things fade, I gotta jive this lesson home
No more whiskey, no more wine, no more women this time...
There goes a kitten, I'm smitten, I'm a fool again
