When I Said I Wanted To Be Your DogEvery day you make a fine loaf of breadAnd after work just before sunset You head down to the city park There you're alone with the birds in the dark And I've seen other people do that too But they're old and you're 22 They lost hope and soon they'll be gone They'll just vanish with the setting sun But I know, yes I know They're flying within you again But I won't let them get you Cause you're my only friend You're my only friend When I said I wanted to be your dog I wasn't coming on to you I just wanted to lick your face Lick those raindrops from the rainy days You can take me for a walk in the park I'll be chasing every single lark I'll be burying all the skeleton bones Peeing on every cold black stone But I know, yes I know They're flying within you again But I won't let them eat you Cause you're my only friend My friend My only friend You're my friend |
