Only in the absence of love
Are we truly alone
Well if I'm such a dog
Then throw me a bone
I chase
My own tail
My ribs
Are showin' I know it
I never get anywhere
If I'm such a dog...
I promise to be loyal
I'll give you all of my love
You know I never gave up hoping
That you would come along
Oh, I promise not to pull you
Wherever we may walk
Oh, I promise to be loyal
I'd give you all my love
Only in the absence of love
Are we truly alone
Are we truly alone
Well if I'm such a dog
Then throw me a bone
I won't bark
I won't bite
I won't even show my teeth
I won't stray
I won't run
I'll stay outta streets
(The streets are dangerous)
I've chased em' all
I've raced em' all
My bloody paws
Are showin' I know it
I never get anywhere
Oh, I don't
I never get anywhere
Around n round, I go
I just run when I'm alone
I just have fun when I'm alone
I'm diggin' deep when I'm alone
It breaks my heart that you're alone
I've been a bad, bad dog
I know it I know it
I know
I'm doing my best to control it
And change for the better
You better know it
I'll be good I swear
I won't scratch or tear
I'll bear every single burden
You better know that
They could never love you like I do
There could never be another you
I could never scratch another door
I could never watch you drive away
If I'm such a dog
Then throw me a bone
(They're trying to put me down!)
If I'm such a dog
Then throw me a bone
(They're trying to put me down!)
