NINE LIVES LYRICS


Well I got nine lives baby I just keep comin' back

I got nine lives baby I just keep comin' back oh yeah

I got nine lives and nearly lost them all

But each and every time I really had a ball

I got nine lives baby I just keep 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 babe I'm coming back again


I got nine lives baby I just keep comin' back

I got nine lives baby I just keep comin' back

I got nine lives and nearly lost them all

But each and every time I really had a ball

I got nine lives baby I just keep comin' back


I had fun with number six. But baby I got stuck on five

She took all of my money honey and she buried me alive

Four and three got better oh watch out for number two

That one almost killed me now don't you think it can't happen to you


I got just one live left I'm gonna live it all.

But just one last chance baby

I gotta drive this last one home

No more whiskey, no more wine, no more women this time

There goes a kitten I'm smitten I'm a fool again
