Lyrics   status: confirmed

waaaaahooooooooo

I love you baby cuz you're back in time
I love you today
Your eyes are flashing back a magic sign
When sun comes out to play

I learned it all from you, girl
I got it all from you
How to howl the moon, yeh
And how to scratch a dog
I do it everyday
Come back again tomorrow
And chase it all away

A dreamin' beauty sleepin' day and night
The sun around you
I love you baby yeah you're super fine
Claw me down to
Purrin', whirrin', fuzzy lights of day
Switchin' sunlight
I chase you kitten, catch ya every time
Funny how it flies

I learned it all from you, girl
I got it all from you
How to howl the moon, yeh
And how to scratch a dog
I do it everyday
Come back again tomorrow
And chase your life away

I hear you purrin', purrin' super soul
I puff into it
Puss 'n leather yeh boots and gold
Leather tail away

I learned it all from you, girl
I got it all from you
How to howl the moon, yeh
And how to scratch a dog
I do it everyday
Come back again tomorrow
And chase yr life away

NOTES:

  • Purr was one of the earliest songs written for Dirty, debuted in late '91.
  • The version recorded at the 1992 Mark Goodier session was released on a couple of Dirty singles. It's half-acoustic, and pretty damn good.
