Verse 1
Low light, red wine, quarter to two
Smoke rings curling like they always do
Silk dress whispering secrets to the chair
You don’t sit down — you arrive there
You don’t chase, you don’t plead
You stretch like time doesn’t need to proceed
Every man in the room pretends he’s wise
Every man in the room is telling lies
Chorus
Sex kitten — miao miao
Got nine lives and you’re on them now
No leash, no fence, no how
Sex kitten — miao miao
Verse 2
You sip your drink like it owes you rent
Smile like a sin that was heaven-sent
Not in a hurry, not on display
You don’t ask — you let them stay
Jazz band slides into something slow
Piano knows what it doesn’t show
You tap one nail on the edge of the glass
That’s all it takes — the spell is cast
Chorus
Sex kitten — miao miao
Velvet paws, razor vow
Scratch the soul, don’t ask how
Sex kitten — miao miao
Bridge
You’re not trouble — you’re the test
You don’t promise, you suggest
Eyes say “maybe”, lips say “hmm”
Clock forgets what hour we’re in
Verse 3
Men talk loud when they’re feeling small
You just lean back and let it fall
You don’t conquer, you don’t fight
You dim the room by stealing the light
Ashtray full, moon in retreat
Bass walks slow down a one-way street
You stand up — coats get grabbed
Half the room just feels robbed
Final Chorus (soft, then swell)
Sex kitten — miao miao
Still don’t know your reasons now
You were never meant to bow
Sex kitten — miao miao
Outro (spoken, half-sung)
Easy, boys…
She’s not yours.
She’s jazz.
