I want a dog To curl up beside me I want a dog ‘Cause he would keep me company I want a dog ‘Cause he would look out for me Cheer me up When I don’t think I’ll make it I want a dog ‘Cause he’d try to lick my face And he would smile When I get home to my place I want a dog ‘Cause 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 beside me Guide me 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
