[Verse 1]

I stay outside

Just howling to the night

And I sit, and I sit, and I sit

Bite my tail and dig my ditch

I watch you kiss

Stare at the moon and I wish

I could quit, I could quit, I could quit

Cut me loose and let me live

But you’d rather hear me cry

It’s harder to let it die

[Chorus]

You kick me down

Tell me I’m the only one

And throw it all away for fun

Like an idiot

It’s funny how I thought I knew

Now I’m a dead dog to you

[Verse 2]

Straighten the spine

Get back to work in good time

And I grit, and I grit, and I grit

Smiling through the hell of it

Cause you’d rather hear me cry

It’s harder to let it die

[Chorus]

Tell me I’m the only one

And throw it all away for fun

Like an idiot

It’s funny how I thought I knew

Now I’m a dead dog to you

[Bridge]

I’m on the side of the road

I haven’t eaten for days

But it’s a holiday baby

And you beg me stay

Well you can have it all back

That stupid necklace you bought

Why don’t you send it to her?

I hope she likes it a lot

[Chorus]

You kick me down

Tell me I’m the only one

Wasn’t that just so much fun?

You’re an idiot

It’s funny how I thought I knew

Now I’m a dead dog to you, you

It’s funny how I thought I knew

Now I’m a dead dog to you
