Lyrics
Don't try to push the strong arm on me
Resisting coercion, refusing to be forced into submission
You'd better think twice, I ain't no Sandra Dee
Warning against making assumptions based on appearances
Don't think I'm easy, I wasn't born blonde
Rejecting the perception of being easily influenced or naive due to hair color
I've been around, 'n' I'll be here 'n' gone
Asserting a transient existence with a history of experiences
And I've seen things that you'll never believe
Claiming exposure to extraordinary things beyond common belief
Fast mover, 'n' you can't catch me
Emphasizing a fast-paced lifestyle, eluding capture
Can't catch me
Repetition for emphasis: Emphasizing the inability to be caught
Can't catch me
-Can't catch me
-Catch me if you can
Challenging others to attempt capturing or understanding
I been up, 'n' I been down
Reflecting on a varied life with ups, downs, foolishness, wisdom, challenges, and successes
I been messed up 'n' turned around
-I been a fool, 'n' I been wise
-I've seen shit 'n' paradise
-And I still got the aces up my sleeve
-Fast mover, 'n' ya can't catch me
Reiterating a swift pace and elusiveness
Can't catch me
Continued emphasis on the impossibility of capture
Can't catch me
-Can't catch me
-Can't catch me
-Can't catch me
-Can't catch me
-So catch me if you can
Challenging others to catch or understand
Oh! What a pity, such a pretty boy
Expressing disappointment in someone attractive but lacking substance
California's little pride 'n' joy
Referring to a Californian with pride, possibly sarcastically
But that ain't all it takes
Stating the need for more than physical beauty, desiring substance and quality
I need more than just a pretty face
-I deserve an ace with a little taste
-Don't come sniffin' 'round my tree
Rejecting advances, emphasizing independence and elusiveness
I'm off 'n' runnin', you can't catch me
-Can't catch me
Repeating the theme of being uncatchable, reinforcing the message
Can't catch me
-Can't catch me
-Can't catch me
-Can't catch me
-Can't catch me
-Ahh! No, you can't catch me
-No, you can't catch me
Reiterating the impossibility of being caught, challenging others to try
No, you can't catch me
-Can't catch me
-Can't catch me
-Can't catch me
-Ahh! Catch me if ya can...
