Lyrics
Katy don't be Catherine tonight.
Katy, oh Katy don't be Catherine tonight
Don't cut me off , don't turn your back
Don't give me those
Half defeated eyes
Katy, oh Katy don't be Catherine tonight
I know we've got no brass
I know we struggle to get buy
But remember how we started out
For better or for worse
Now maybe I've been messin' up
And maybe you've been changin from the girl
With whom I fell in love.
And Catherine when our ship comes in
Darlin' we won't have a care
Baby you can buy some bright new clothes
And maybe I will see again the girl
With whom I fell in love.
Katy, oh Katy don't be Catherine tonight
It seems to me love ain't enough to fill
The hunger in our hearts.
But remember how we started out
For better or for worse
Now maybe I just messed things up
Oh Catherine inside I'm still that boy you met
I need my Katy back tonight.
