Lyric

You are a cat, still so young and free

A mischievous and adorable little thing you are to me

And I, well I am just a simple ball of yarn

Rolled around and played with right inside your hands

Please don't play around with me like this

Because I am serious

I truly mean it. If I unravel too much

I'll get completely tangled

And I'll never return to the way things were before

You leap right in and shout that you love me

Rubbing your soft face against my cheek so sweetly

But when I move in closer to try and steal a kiss

You cleverly escape and disappear right out of this

Please don't tease me, I am begging you right now

Because I am serious

I truly mean it, I don't know how. If I unravel too much

I can't even tell you why

The single thread that connects you to me will die

When the moon cries and the rain begins to fall

You always appear without making any call

You distract me just enough to calm my loneliness

Then you turn your back and vanish into nothingness

Don't laugh at me, please, I am truly serious

I've unraveled too much and I can't go back

Don't turn your cold shoulder away from my love

And I, well I am just a simple ball of yarn

To you, I suppose
