"the dog" lyrics

I don't wanna manifest bad energy
I know I sound like a hippie when I say that
Hate to think we'd ever end up enemies
Just bear with me, what if shit hits the fan?

We fall out of love
Admit it's the end
We'll pleasure ourselves
In separate beds
I'll get a new car
You'll get a new job
But who gets to keep the dog?

You can take the floral-printed bed sheets
I never really liked them
You can even have my mother's recipe
The one you're always asking about

But I'll take the knives
And all of the plates
Except for the one
You happened to break
I'll take all the blame
For what I did wrong
But who gets to keep the dog?

I love you more than I've ever loved anyone, anyone
I know things are great right now but we're still young

And if I happen to win custody
After much deliberation
I know that she'd have a lot of fun with me
Prolonging the inevitable

'Cause when I'd see her face
I'd just think of you
It'd be way too hard
For me to get through
We both know that you're
A way better mom
So I'll let you keep the dog

I'll let you keep the dog
Hmm, mm, mm
