I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs
I know you're no scare-eyed honey
There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs
This ain't no hanging matter
No, this ain't no capital crime
I can see that you're fifteen years old
No I don't want your ID
And I've seen that you're so far from home
But it's no hanging matter
No, it's no capital crime
Oh, yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh, yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh, yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I bet your momma never saw you fight like that
I bet your momma never saw you scratch my back
You like to get yourself those stone from your home
But I know you miss your mother
You look so scared out of my man made bed
This ain't no hanging matter
No, this ain't no capital crime
Oh, yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh, yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh, yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I bet your momma never heard you spit like that
I bet your momma never saw you scratch my back
I see your girlfriend and she's wilder than you
Why don't you bring her upstairs
She's wild enough that she can join in too
This ain't no hanging matter
No, this ain't no capital crime
Oh, yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh, yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh, yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I bet your momma never saw you fight like that
I bet your momma never saw you scratch my back
I bet your momma never saw you
I bet your momma never heard you spit like that
I bet your momma never told you
I bet your momma never told you
I bet your momma never told you you scratch like that
