Oh yes, I know that you're not interested, I see And I should let you go your way, that would be most mature of me But I've thought for oh so long and had the best idea yet That you and I would get along if you would let me be your pet...
Chorus: I'd be the kind to follow everywhere You'd run your fingers through my hair Hold me close when you've had a fright And let me in your bed when it's cold at night You'd rub me real nice behind my ears And sing me songs after you've had a couple beers Give me treats when I've done something right And let me in your bed when it's cold at night
Oh yes, and if my offer smacks of servitude I only need remind you true love's course has yet to run real smooth So now if you will let me near you all the night and day Well, you will on your own see I do plenty more than sit or stay...
Chorus
Oh yes, and you could ask me where's my sense of pride And I would tell you I've not had one since I met you last July So now you see that it is rather foolish to give up All of the perks and all the benefits if I were your spaniel pup...
You'd rub me real nice behind my ears And sing me songs after you've had a couple beers Give me treats when I've done something right And let me in your bed, would you let me in your bed, if you'd let me in your bed when it's cold at night...
