She blew her nose and showed me what was in her hankie
She pulled my hair and bit my face before she thanked me
Things seemed to turn around
The day I heard her ask
What if I turned up in a little cats mask?

She walks me to the shop and tells me off if I don’t buy her sweets
She says its time for bed and stands behind me when I brush my teeth
The days were never long
Until I heard her ask
What if I turned up in a little cats mask?

How wonderful it feels
Knowing you’re not real
How fortunate are we?
we don’t have to be
How could we ask for more?
When nothing else is sure
This love we cannot make
If our hearts refuse to break

Are the neighbours laughing now? I really don’t know
If I took a photograph would she get up and go?
If I tried to understand where she came from
I would never get to sleep

She holds me late at night says “love, it makes the effing world go round”
She’ll then turn on the light and sings me off to sleep without a sound

I never knew how far she’d go
Until she asked
What if I turned up in a little cats mask?

How wonderful it feels
Knowing you’re not real
How fortunate are we?
we don’t have to be
How could we ask for more?
When nothing else is sure
This love we cannot make
If our hearts refuse to break
