I've been obediently sweet
I'm such an easy one to teach, a-ah
You put your hands all over me
You know I'll follow at your feet, a-ah
At night you will seclude me, 'cause I'm dirty and I should be
So I wish and wish and wish for morning light
And so unlike a canine, I just lay here and I wish
I were the better version of me that you like
Truth is that I'm not your buddy
Not your honey, not a cutie
I've been trying to be somebody
Can't you see me? It's not funny
Names and games are supposed to be fun
These are reruns, you already won
I thought I was more to you
Guess that's not true, I'm just your stupid dog
Chasing a dream of you and me
My legs are kicking in my sleep, a-ah
The more you run, the more I need
We both deny the irony, a-ah
At night you will seclude me like I'm dirty and I should be
So I wish and wish and wish for yesterday
When sunlight blinded my eyes and I never had to wish
I didn't think the things I never get to say
Truth is that I'm not your buddy
Not your honey, not a cutie
I've been trying to be somebody
Can't you see me? It's not funny
Names and games are supposed to be fun
These are reruns, you already won
I thought I was more to you
Guess that's not true, I'm just your stupid dog
Bet you could guess I'd write this song
So when I sing I prove you wrong, a-ah
