"Hello Kitty Kat" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' 1994 compilation album, Pisces Iscariot, originally released on the "Today" single in September 1993.

“ now this song was a toughy because i really had intended to put this on that album. but the ghosts of gish said no no no so i left it alone kinda because i really destroyed the mix. my most passive aggresive song. ” — Billy Corgan, Pisces Iscariot liner notes

Lyrics

"Hello Kitty Kat"

say hello before you say goodbye
i should go before you make me cry
she wants to bleed every drop inside of me
but i aim to please the little girl inside of me too

yeah, yeah
you know i hate to say it
oh no, i always stay
i don't wanna be like the others please

who's sorry now
who's sorry now
if i show you how
will you let me down

slit my wrists and die a whore
love to love to love what you adore
i can give you anything
but please let me be your everything, please

yeah, yeah
you know i hate to say it
oh no, i always stay
i don't wanna be like the others please

who's sorry now
if i show you how
will you let me down
will you let me down
who's sorry now
who's sorry now

my love is weakness
my love is oh so wrong
my love is sadness
my love is oh so strong
my teeth are razor sharp
my back is fucking strong
i'll be with you
but not for long

no, no
you know i hate to say it
oh no, i always stay
i don't wanna be like the others please

who's sorry now
who's sorry now
who's sorry now
if i show you how
will you let me down
will you let me down
please let me down
please let me down

"Kitty Kat" (demo)

[all right, baby, it's time to ro... heheh. ow!]

say hello before you say goodbye
wanna go before you make me cry
you wanna bleed out your insides and everything
you wanna see what is sacred and never fear

all you need is you
all you need is you
all you need is you
all you need is you

i don't want your loving no more
i don't need your secrets no more
you wanna bleed out your insides and everything
you wanna speak hidden things i didn't hear

all you need is you
all you need is you
all you need is you
all you need is you

don't you wanna be my friend
until the bitter end
don't you wanna be my friend
until the bitter end

[haha...]
