I Want To Be Your Dog
WRITTEN BY: ANT MCNAUGHT
Well, I used to be a man of ambition
in a ghetto in tinseltown.
I used to think that fame and fortune
might be worth the thorny crown.
But mongrels conceal their pedigree.
Wolfman makes his play.
I don’t believe a word of it,
no matter what they say.
I want to be your dog.
I just want to be your dog.
You can buy me a leather collar.
Just whistle and I’ll follow you.
I want to be your dog.
I walk this world and I look for love,
they got just one plan for me.
I’ll be one more hound in one more pound
if you don’t set me free.
Won’t you let me be your dog?
I just want to be your dog.
Teach me all kinds of tricks.
Give me love. I’ll give you licks.
I just want to be your dog.
I’m praying that you’ll see the light
and let this dog have his day.
There’s a full moonrise at midnight.
Baby, all I’ve got to say is
I want to be your dog.
I want to be your dog.
You can walk me in the park.
You can love me in the dark.
I just want to be your dog.
Oh yeah, let me be your dog.
Please, let me be your dog.
If the bad man come, I bark.
If the bad man stay, I bite.
I can find you in the dark
and I’ll be with you through the night
if you’ll let me be your dog.
