You don't have to keep me on no chain I come a-runnin' when I hear you call myname I must not be too hard to trainIt took you no time at all And you don't really like none of my friendsYou never really know just where I've been When I slip up on your porch at 4 a.m.Like an old stray dog So you scratch me, you pet meAnd you bite me and even let me win Now and thenYou scold me, you tease me Then you hold me and tell me I'm your friendMaking love to you, babe, ain't so hard You treat me like a dog in the yardSometimes you kick at me when I'm down And it drives you crazy when I just lay aroundNo matter what you do I think I find the perfect homeYou scratch me, you pet me And you bite me and even let me winNow and thenYou scold me, you tease me Then you hold me and tell me I'm your friendMaking love to you, babe, ain't so hard You treat me like a dog in the yardOh, you treat me like a dog in the yardOh, you treat me like a dog in the yard
