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 Oh, but when it's my time To throw the next stone I'll call you beautiful if I call at all You call me a dog, 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 a handful 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, yeah You call me a dog, well that's fair enough It doesn't bother me as long as you know But bad luck will follow you if you keep me on a leash And you drag me along And when it's my time To throw the next stone I'll call you beautiful if I call at all, yeah And when it's my time To call your bluff I'll call you beautiful Or leave it alone, yeah You call me a dog
