I'm a stray dog, I'm on the loose I ain't got nobody, ain't no use I'm a stray dog, bound to stay that way Ain't no cages you can keep me in No place to take me I ain't already been I'm a stray dog, bound to stay that way Round midnight I'll be howlin' at the moon Scratchin' at your back door Lemme in your room 'Cause I'm a stray dog Hungry all the time I got a bad bite, worse than my bark 'Cause a long time ago somebody broke my heart I'm a stray dog, can you love me anyway
