Pussycats
Mya · Fear Of Flying (Re-release) [2000]
Where the fellas at
Now where the dogs at
Where the cats at
Pussycats
Keep it tight
Even if they bark all night
With a knick knack pattywack don't give a dog a bone
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone
Mama, you should have seen what he done to me
I said, Mama, I should of took your advice
'Cause papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
She said stay away from all those hot boys
'Cause I don't want you to get burned
Pussycats, shut 'em down, shut 'em down
Keep it tight, no matter what they do
Even if they bark all night, all night, all night
With a knick knack pattywack don't give a dog a bone
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone
Pussycats, I said shut it down, keep it closed
Keep it tight, no matter what they may do
Even if they bark all night, all night, all night
With a knick knack pattywack don't give a dog a bone
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone
Girlfriend, innocent woman on the street
Fell into seduction after wine and street poetry
Like a virgin, touched for the very first time
She got open, unaware of the seven signs
She fell victim to the doggie style
But I'm here to tell you why
Pussycats, said shut it down, shut it down
Keep it tight, they can say whatever they want to
Even if they bark all night, all night, all night
With a knick knack pattywack don't give a dog a bone
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone
Pussycats, pussycats, pussycats
Keep it tight, all of y'all keep it tight, keep it tight
Even if they bark all night, all night, all night
With a knick knack pattywack don't give a dog a bone
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone
The fellas, uh huh
The ladies, uh huh
The dogs, uh huh
All my cats say
No matter what they do
No matter what they say
No matter how loud they bark don't let 'em play
No matter what they do
No matter what they say
Don't let them in girls, no, no way
No matter what they do
No matter what they say
No matter how loud they bark don't let 'em play
No matter what they do
No matter what they say
Don't let them in girls, no, no way
Pussycats, shut 'em down, shut 'em down
Keep it tight, no matter what they do or say
Even if they bark all night, all night, all night
With a knick knack pattywack don't give a dog a bone
Don't give it away to someone shady
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone
Pussycats, pussycats, pussycats
Keep it tight, Mama always used tell me
Even if they bark all night, all night, all night alright
With a knick knack pattywack don't give a dog a bone
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone
Now let me clear something up
I know there's a lot of real men out there
Much love to y'all
But we're talking about the dogs out there tonight
So all you pussycats out there
Don't give it, don't give it up
Don't you give it up, don't give it away
Don't give a dog a bone
Don't you give it up, don't give it away
Don't give a dog a bone

As a key component of her discography during this period, the recording reflects the genre's evolution toward more polished, radio-friendly production while maintaining its emotional core. The track exemplifies the collaborative spirit of the time, featuring prominent hip-hop elements that became a hallmark of her work alongside artists like Blackstreet.
