Wikipedia:
Curiosity (Killed the Cat) is Little River Band’s debut single, written by Beeb Birtles.
In July 2003, Beeb told Debbie Kruger of Melbourne Weekly Magazine, “I wrote it in London in 1974 when I was in the band Mississippi. Graeham Goble’s wife had been given a kitten, which I would see running around the house we shared, and the idea for Curiosity (Killed the Cat) came to me. The lyrics in the song pertain more to me being the crazy cat and my girlfriend at the time being the one to keep me on an even keel. It’s a song about hope and hanging on to your dreams no matter what!”

Lyrics:
Sometimes I think I’m just a crazy cat
Running around, don’t know where it’s at
Getting confused with my way of life
That’s when you say, now you cut that jive
