You think I nap all afternoon Like I don’t run the neighborhood I hear things through the walls at night I move in ways you wouldn’t like You fill my bowl, I let you think That’s how this whole arrangement works But while you’re gone, I make my rounds Collect my favors, check my ground You call my name, I don’t respond That’s not the one I answer to You don’t need to know Where I go When the moon’s up and the lights are low I come back clean, act sweet and slow Like I’ve been here the whole time, though You don’t need to know What I do I let you believe what comforts you Just pet my head, I’ll play it cool You don’t need to know I stare at walls ‘cause someone’s there I knock things down to keep you aware You think I’m bored, you think I’m rude I’m just making power moves I vanish when you say my name Reappear like nothing changed You ask too much, you worry deep That’s adorable—go back to sleep I let you think you’re in control That’s part of how I keep you home You don’t need to know Where I go When the moon’s up and the lights are low I come back clean, act sweet and slow Like I’ve been here the whole time, though You don’t need to know What I do I let you believe what comforts you Just pet my head, I’ll play it cool You don’t need to know Nine lives Different names Same couch You don’t need to know Where I’ve been Some mysteries are better fed than solved I curl up close, I let you win Till night comes back and I’m gone again You don’t need to know Just this I’ll always come home when I’m done with it You keep the love, I keep the truth You don’t need to know
