“CATCH ME, IF YOU CAN“

 I DON’T NEED NOBODY JUST TO HOLD MY HAND

DON’T NEED IN MY LIFE NO CONTROLLIN’ MAN

CAUSE I’M A WOMAN WHO’S TAKIN’ A STAND

 AND I KNOW WHAT’S RIGHT FOR ME, NOW IT MIGHT BE YOU,

SO IF YOU THINK YOU CAN BE THAT SOMEBODY NEW

THEN SHOW ME SOMETHIN’ I AIN’T SEEN BEFORE

AND COME PREPARED BEFORE YOU KNOCK ON MY DOOR

CAUSE AIN’T NO HEARTACHES ALLOWED HERE NO MORE

BUT IF YOU THINK YOU’RE THE MAN,

 OH, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

I DON’T NEED NO TWO-TIME LOSER COMIN’ AROUND

 SO YOUR FEET HAD BETTER BE ON A SOLID GROUND

& DON’T TALK COMMITTMENT JUST TO LAY ME DOWN

CAUSE I KNOW WHAT’S WRONG FOR ME, IT JUST MIGHT BE YOU

BUT MAYBE YOU’LL PROVE TO BE THAT SOMEBODY TRUE

.

SO TELL ME SOMETHIN’ I AIN’T HEARD BEFORE

AND BE PREPARED BEFORE YOU WALTZ THRU MY DOOR

CAUSE AIN’T NO MISTAKES HAPPENIN’ HERE NO MORE

SO IF YOU’RE MY KINDA’ MAN,

 OH, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

I WANT CHA TO COME ON & CATCH ME

I’M A WOMAN IN COMMAND

AD-LIB TO END
