I took a load off and I went to the movies I'm working for a paycheck I barely get to see I thought about the places I'll never get to go And I remind myself that's how things will always be But then I saw you there Twirling your hair with the tip of your fingers I thought to ask you out But I'm reminded of the shame of rejection It's either him or me This is the only way that you'll ever know and you'll know I introduce myself, but I was muted by the sound of the music And you walked away These are those dawg days They come suddenly and break me On those dawg days The dawg days I took a ride today but didn't know where to go I got her number, but she never replied to me I replay everything that I might have done so wrong These LA summers got me ready to move away But then I brush it off Don't let your insecurities do the talking There will be better days I tried to play it off, but they don't come often I tried to find myself I walked for miles in a different direction I want to leave this place There's nothing much here that'll extend my stay So I walk away These are those dawg days They come suddenly and break me On those dawg days The dawg days
