Call Me a Dog Songtext

von Temple of the Dog

You call me a dog
Well that's fair enough
'Cause it ain't no use to pretend
You're wrong
When you call me out
I can't hide anymore
I have no disguise
You can't see through

Well you say it's bad luck
To have fallen for me
Well what can I say
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'll call you beautiful if I call at all

You tell me I'm low
'Cause I've slept on the floor
And out in the woods
With the badgers and wolves
You threw me out
'Cause I went digging for gold
And I came home
With ahandful of coal

But when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all
And when it's my time
To call your bluff
I'll call you beautiful
Or leave it alone
You call me a dog
Well that's fair enough
It doesn't bother me
As long as you know
Bad luck will follow you
If you keep me on a leash
And you drag me along
