I Want a Dog

I really want a dog
And a wife who loves
To talk about the day she had
I want a house that's on a street, that's on a hill
In a community with other people just like me
I want a kid that plays guitar
And he'd be a prodigy at the age of 3
And he'll just give me lessons when he's 6
I want my dog to fucking talk
And tell me that she's very very proud of me
And that I've worked very very hard
No I just want a dog
I just want a dog
I just want a dog‚ dog‚ dog
No I just want a dog
I just want a dog
I just want a dog‚ a dog, dog
And I want my dog to be in films
And my son would also star in them
And I would just direct, and I'd produce
My wife would have a lot to do
Like talk to record label A&R's
Because she would be a famous singer too
I forgot to mention that my films would be great
You'd be amazed and also touched inside
Like The Blindside starring Sandra Bullock
I came here for the dream‚ and
I will not leave without it
No frank, you just want a dog
You just want a dog
You just want a dog
You just want a dog
I though you want a dog
All you want is a dog
All you want is a dog, dog‚ dog
And I want nothing but the best
Better than anyone has had yet
The wife, the kid and the dog
I want my kid to change the world
And my wife to cure disease
I want my dog to fucking talk
And not only just to me
I want the life I've never had
And I want only just to laugh
And I want stimulation every second and a half
I want the world to fucking see that I am someone to respect
Even when I'm lying cold, cross-armed in a chest
You know I really want a dog
And a wife who loves
To talk about the day that she had
I want a house that's on a street, that's on a hill
In a community with other people just like me
I want the life I've never had
I want only just to laugh
And I want stimulation every second and a half
I want the world to fucking see that I am someone to respect
Even when I'm lying cold, cross-armed in a chest
No I just want a dog, dog, dog
I just want a dog, dog, dog
I just want a dog, dog, dog
I just want a dog, a dog
