I want to live like a cat ooh Not caring what people think about me I want to live like how I want to Selfishly I don't want to be tied up I want to be a cat I want to be a cat I want to be a cat On the norway sofa Under the sun, like usual I let out yawn I want to sleep once more Suddenly, she came from the of the seat I rolled backward and said "Don't disturb me" And kicked her with my feet Making him to fall over It's not that hate her I'm just not in the mood If he wants to hang out She should wait for me to invite her I wonder where our cat is ooh Could "she" be under the bed? She doesn't care about the others thought And does everything with her own pace Until she's hungry She want to be alone You know? all right? ooh You know? all right? oh You know? all right? hey Am I selfish? am I selfish? I know, all right? ooh I know, all right? oh I know, all right? hey Are you selfish? are you selfish? I wanna be a cat I wanna be a cat She isn't even looking At the leftover milk She must want to play With the slippers for now The color of her eyes keep changing rapidly In a matter of seconds In short I never understand what she's thinking about [Ye/Yu] I'd feel at ease [Ye/Yu] If you're disgusted with the kind or person I am [Sa/Min/Na] If you don't expect something from me [Sa/Min/Na] I won't disappoint you Cats are better than dogs ooh Something that listen to you well is boring I'll get bored of something That lacks of excitement Don't you want to be more thrilled? She's hard to handle [Sa/Yu] Ah [Sa/Yu] She walk in from the door that is a little bit open [Sa/Yu] Her freedom [Ye/Min/Na] I'm always envious of it [Ye/Min/Na] I want to be like her I want to live like a cat ooh Not caring what people think about me I want to live like how I want to Selfishly I don't want to be tied up I want to be a cat I wonder where our cat is ooh Could "she" be under the bed? She doesn't care about the others thought And does everything with her own pace Until she's hungry She want to be alone You know? all right? ooh You know? all right? oh You know? all right? hey Am I selfish? am I selfish?
