Fat Cat likes to eat.

He lays in front of his bowl 

And eats the whole darn thing.

Little Girl likes to curl up by my feet.

She'd rather have me love on her than eat.

"Love me, love me, please," says she.

Fat Cat has made himself sick

Gorging on his food.

Little Girl watches him

And doesn't know what to do

To help him understand.

Love's the only thing

You can overdo and live.

Love's not everything,

But it is the only thing

That lasts.

"Love me, love me, please."

It's the heart cry of everything alive.

Fat Cat calls it to his food,

And someone may be calling out to you,

"Love me, love me, please."
