Greg Brown - Like A Dog Lyrics

Like a dog, like a dog, I've sat by your door,
Hoping for any scraps you might throw.
And I whine sometimes 'cause I need your love.
And I have loved you like a dog.

Like a dog, like a dog, I'm always there,
While you are out gallivanting somewhere.
One little scratch means everything.
And I have loved you like a dog.

Maybe I shouldn't admit it.
Maybe I shouldn't have tried.
You want somethin', honey, I'll get it.
A dog is not burdened with pride.

Like a dog, like a dog, I leap with joy
When you call my name, call me a good boy.
I wish I had a dog's heart instead of this one.
For I have loved you like a dog.
I have loved you like a dog.
Aaaaaoooooooo-
