I Want a Dog

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I want a dog

To curl up beside me

I want a dog

Cuz he would keep me company

I want a dog

Cuz he would look out for me

Cheer me up

When I don’t think I’ll make it

I want a dog

Cuz he’d try to lick my face

And he would smile

When I get home to my place

I want a dog

Cuz sometimes humans hold it all inside

I need to feel connected

I made the wrong choice now I must pay the price trapped in my body and my own mind

I want a dog

To lead me to the backyard

And fetch the ball as if he was my lifeguard

I want a dog to softly walk bеside me

Guide mе home

I wish I had a dog

We’re keeping score

We are all rational agents

We make our deals

To try to get more famous

I made my bed

Now I am gonna lie in it

That’s what I get

I just wish I had a dog

I made the wrong choice now I must pay the price trapped in my body and my own mind

I made the wrong choice now I must pay the price trapped in my body and my own mind

I want a dog
