“Nine lives”

Words and music by Donny Douglas

Intro: A x 16 bars

Verse

A                                             D

She’s a cat,          she’s a viper,

F                                                       G

but when I look at her pretty face I don’t know what’s inside her

A             D

I look, I can’t see

F                             G

What’s that following me

A                   D

Is it a face? Or not?

F                G

What on earth has she got?

A                    D

I try to run, I try to hide,

F                                             G

There’s no out when you’re on the inside

quieter

Am             Gm

Don’t get off

Am             Gm

Don’t get off

Am            Gm      G

Don’t get off        No……

Chorus

B                             G

She’s got nine lives, she needs only one,

D                                             A

Mine is all over when hers just begun

B                             G

She’s got bright eyes, and sure as I’m done

D                                             A

I’ll be all over……….… before she’s begun

Verse

She knows when it’s right,

She sleeps in the daytime and prowls in the night

You come, when she calls

Can’t help it got to live by her rules

Her breath, like fire, one kiss is the funeral pyre

She could kill, with a glace,

But she won’t have to you’re caught in a trance

Don’t get off

Don’t get off

Don’t get off No
