Artist/Band: Janet Jackson
Lyrics for Song: Black Cat
Lyrics for Album: Design Of A Decade 1986/1996



All the lonely nights I spend alone
Never around to love me
You're always gone
Cause you're hangin out
Breakin' the rules
Oh the man has come
Looking for you
You're a rebel now
Don't give a damn
Always carrying on
With the gang
I'm trying to tell you boy
It's a mistake
You won't realize
Til it's too late

Don't understand
Why you insist
On ways of living such a dangerous life
Time after time you stay away
And I just know that you're telling me lies

Black cat
Nine lives
Short days
Long nights
Livin on the edge
Not afraid to die
Heart beat
Real strong
But not
For long
Better watch your step
Or you're gonna die

You're so together boy
But just at a glance
You'll do anything
If given a chance
Scheming, plannin lies
To get what you need
So full of promises
That you never keep

Don't you tell yourself
That it's okay
Sick and tired of
All of your games
And you want me to stay
Better change
Makes no sense to me
Your crazy ways

Black cat
Nine lives
Short days
Long nights
Livin on the edge
Not afraid to die
Heart beat
Real strong
But not
For long
Better watch your step
Or you're gonna die


Black Cat

Black Cat stands as one of Janet Jackson's most iconic recordings, originally released on her 1989 album Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814. The track showcases her signature blend of new jack swing and rock influences, driven by a distinctive guitar riff and a driving rhythm section. Its darker, edgier tone marked a shift in her musical direction, solidifying her status as a pop culture phenomenon during the late 1980s. The song remains a staple of her extensive discography, frequently featured in greatest hits compilations like Design Of A Decade 1986/1996. Its enduring popularity reflects Jackson's ability to craft memorable hooks and innovative production that transcends generations.
