Friend of the Animals Lyrics

Tell me to go play dead
I will comply, I will comply
Love is a sleeping dog
Just let it lie, just let it lie

Oh when i feel you stir
I smell your fear, I smell your fear
You burrow into the earth
And disappear, and disappear

When I say "I want you near"
Sounds so high, only dogs can hear
But they sympathize – I see it in their dog eyes
That's just me, I'll always be a friend of the animals

If you don't wanna love me I got animals to love me
My fuzzy brothers, four legged lovers
If you don't wanna love me I got kittens I got puppies
Under the covers

I've got a fuzzy drug
To ease my brain
Nuzzle and lick and love
Away my pain

I've got a fuzzy drug
To make me whole
Creatures sent from above
To save my soul

I would call you my pet
But you don't like when i call you that
So now i done found me one who loves me
You never could have understood a friend of the animals

If you don't wanna love me I got animals to love me
My fuzzy brothers, four legged lovers
If you don't wanna love me I got kittens I got puppies
Under the covers

Now that we've reached the end
I'm feeling fine, I'm feeling fine
You've got your more-than-friend
And I've got mine, and I've got mine

You don't want to love me
I don't want to love you
I can find other things to do
I've got friends at the petting zoo
