dog in the yard

you don't have to keep me on no chain

i come running when i hear you call my name

i must not be too hard to train

took you no time at all

you don't really like none of my friends

you never really know just where i've been

when i slip up on your porch at 4am

like an old stray dog

you scratch me and you pet me

and you fight me

and even let me win

now and then

you scold me you tease me

then you hold me

and tell me i'm your friend

making love to you babe

ain't so hard

you treat me like a

dog in the yard

sometimes you kick at me when i'm down

it drives you crazy when i just lay around

no matter what you do i think i've found

the perfect home

you scratch me and you pet me

and you fight me

and even let me win

now and then

you scold me you tease me

then you hold me

and tell me i'm your friend

making love to you babe

ain't so hard

you treat me like a

dog in the yard
