"Like A Dog" lyrics

Once in a while
You take me out on the town in the sun
Tethered to your arm
While I do my dig in the dirt
Is this a way to be loved?
Stuck in the mud as you're wandering off?
I think I'm loyal enough
You know I love to be loved like a dog
Yeah, I love to be loved like a dog

Ooh, do you care that I'd stay for you?
Ooh, do you care that I'd lay with you?

I could be there to protect you
If you hurt me I would never neglect you
You could leave me for long and I'd keep hanging on
You can tell me you love me back any day you want
Like a dog
Like a dog
Like a dog

I could be out on my own
But I'll come running back when you call
Take a stroll on the block
Just to end right up in the front yard
To me you're the only one even when you string me along
None of this feels wrong
Cause I love to be loved like a dog

Ooh, would you dare to see my point of view?
Ooh, would you care to hear my story, too?

I could be there to protect you
If you hurt me I would never neglect you
You could leave me for long and I'd keep hanging on
You can tell me you love me back any day you want
Like a dog
Like a dog
Like a dog
You can tell me you love me back any day you want

Like a dog
Like a dog
Like a dog
Like a dog
