you called again today, now look what you've done
keep coming back, contemplating your unsure purchase
just because you know i'll always be there
man's best friend---
i'll push and leap forward, tightening my collar
only to strain my own breathing
only to frustrate and discourage you from walks
i'll whimper, give you those puppy dog eyes
but i'll always be by your side
throw me your table scraps, one by one
i'll fall for each and every trick
after daily repetition, maybe i'll learn
multiple kicks, but i have a short memory
call me by my name, i'll come running
invite me to just sit on the couch, i'll feel like a queen
scold me for chasing the cat, i'll repress myself
you treat me like a dog
treat me like a dog, you must know by now
i'm your *****
