call me a dog

Singer:chris cornell

you call me a dog well that's fair enough

cause it ain't no use to pretend

you're wrong

when you call me out i can't hide anymore

i have no disguise you can't see through

well you say it's bad luck

to have fallen for me

well what can i do to make it good for you

you wore me out like an old winter coat

trying to be safe from the cold

but when it's my time to throw

the next stone

i'll call you beautiful if i call at all

you tell me i'm low cause i've slept on the floor

and out in the woods with the badgers & wolves

you threw me out cause i went digging for gold

and i came home with a handful of coal

but when it's my time to throw the next stone

i'll call you beautiful if i call at all

and when its my time to call your bluff

i'll call you beautiful or leave it alone

you call me a dog

well that's fair enough

it doesn't bother me as long as you know

bad luck will follow you

if you keep me on a leash and

you drag me along
