You call me a dog,
well, that's fair enough
'Cause it ain't no use
to pretend you're wrong
You call me out
I can't hide anymore
I have no disguise
you can see through.
You say it's bad luck
to have fallen for me
What can I do
to make it good for you?
You wore me out
like an old winter coat
Trying to be safe
from the cold
But when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I call you beautiful
If I call at all
You call me dog
And you tell me I'm low
'cause I slept on the floor
And out in the watch
with the badgers and wolves
You threw me out
'cause I went digging for gold
And I came home with a hand
full of coal.
But when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I call you beautiful if
I call at all
And when it's my time
To call your bluff
I call you beautiful or leave it alone
Yeah, you call me a dog
That's fair enough
It doesn't bother me
as long as you know
The bad luck will follow you
If you keep me on a leash and you drag me along
But when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I call you beautiful
If I call at all
But when it's my time
To call your bluff, ooh
I call you beautiful
I'll leave it alone, yeah
You call me dog
