Generosity Killed This Cat

Well, I had me a little woman
She was the sweetest in this land
There’d never be another
I was a lucky man
Gave her everything she wanted
No, I never turned her down
Her every wish was my command
She made my world go ‘round

Spent every dime I’d saved up
Bought a big ole weddin’ ring
Life couldn’t get much better
Yeah, I had everything
But I couldn’t see the warning signs
Love clouded up my head
Did everything to please her
And she left me here for dead

Well, I gave her this and I gave her that
Thought she would give a little lovin’ back
But I was wrong cause I never got one thing
Now I sit here and wonder why
Curiosity consumes my mind
She’s gone and I’m alone with a memory
All givin’ and no takin’ just ain’t where it’s at
Cause man I’m here to tell you generosity killed this cat

Now, I’m not tryin’ to tell you that love ain’t what you’ve got
But you better know your woman
Before you go tie that knot
Don’t give her everything she wants
Just give her what she needs
Cause I found out the hard way
She’ll take it and she’ll leave

Well, I gave her this and I gave her that
Thought she would give a little lovin’ back
But I was wrong cause I never got one thing
Now I sit here and wonder why
Curiosity consumes my mind
She’s gone and I’m alone with a memory
All givin’ and no takin’ just ain’t where it’s at
Cause man I’m here to tell you generosity killed this cat

Well, I gave her this and I gave her that
Thought she would give a little lovin’ back
But I was wrong cause I never got one thing
Now I sit here and wonder why
Curiosity consumes my mind
She’s gone and I’m alone with a memory
All givin’ and no takin’ just ain’t where it’s at
Cause man I’m here to tell you generosity killed this cat

Yeah, man I’m here to tell you generosity killed this cat
