I've had a question that's been preying on my mind for some time

I won't be wagging my tail for one good reason

It has to be a crime

This doghouse never was the place for me,

Runner up and second best just ain't my pedigree

I was so happy, just the two of us

Until this alpha male

Turned up in the January sale

He won't love you

Like I love you,

It won't be long now before that puppy goes astray

And what I like about this guy the most?

He'd be my favorite lamppost

Devil take the hindmost

Je sais que c'est dur, mais il faut se faire au changement, tu vois

J'ai négligé le primordial pendant trop longtemps crois moi.

Je suis consciente, je vois bien que tu souffres, mais ça s'attenuera

Car c'est d'un homme plus (que) d'un chien dont j'ai besoin près de moi

Cesse donc de grogner, mon choix est fait c'est comme ça

N'en fait pas trop, ton attitude risque de t'éloigner de moi

Faut que tu comprennes, puisque tu dis m'aimer tant que ça

Désormais nous sommes trois, lui toi et moi

It's a shaggy kind of story

Would I tell you if I thought it was a lie?

But when the cat's away the mouse will play,

I wouldn't dish around here

There's something fishy round here

I howl all night and I sleep all day

Take more than biscuit baby to chase these blues away

I've got a long enough leash

I could almost hang myself

It's a dog's life loving you baby

When you love someone else

Now he's moved my basket

I'd like to put him in a casket

I'll wear my best collar to his funeral

Ta mauvaise foi, j'aimerais bien que ça s'arrête

Me séparer de toi, aujourd'hui ça trotte dans ma tête

Moi non, j'en peux plus, tu n'es qu'un chien, c'est trop bête

La situation m'avait pourtant l'air d'être des plus nettes

C'est clair, que je l'aime c'est un fait, ton égoïsme m'inquiète

Après toutes ces soirées passées seul en tête à tête

Chaque chose a une fin, et c'est la fin de la fête

Pour toi, car bientôt il n'y aura plus que lui et moi, lui et moi.

To have found this perfect life

And a perfect love so strong

Well there can't be nothing worse

Than a perfect love gone wrong

You said I wasn't just your Christmas toy

I'd always be your boy

I'd be your faithful companion

And I would follow you through every thick and thin

Don't need nobody else

And we don't need him
