"Stray Dog" lyrics

Oh, you treat me like a stray dog
Trying to find its way home
Oh, you feed me like an animal too wounded
To eat on its own
You touch my body like it's dressed in disease
And you're the only savior I need

But you don't know that while I watch you try to fix me, I let you
'Cause I'm only trying to give you the purpose you need
But someday you'll see that I'm the one who's free
And maybe you'll be a stray dog with me

Then we can run around the country
And chase the postal trucks down
We can look at the sky and wonder what it's like
To be up there instead of the ground
At the end of the day a bird can fly away
But I'd rather have a reason I should stay

And you don't know that while I watch you try to fix me, I let you
'Cause I'm only trying to show you the good that I see
We both know it's true, my dog days aren't through
But I'd rather be a stray dog with you
With you

Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh, you treat me like a stray dog
Trying to find its way home
Oh, you treat me like a stray dog
Trying to find its way home
Oh, you treat me like a stray dog
Oh, you treat me like a stray dog
You don't know that while I watch you try to fix me, I let you
Trying to find its way home
'Cause I'm only trying to show you the good that I see
Oh, you treat me like a stray dog
You don't know that while I watch you try to fix me, I let you
Trying to find its way home
'Cause I'm only trying to show you the good that I see
You don't know that while I watch you try to fix me, I let you
Oh, you treat me like a stray dog
