Treat Me Like the Dog I Am!
I show up on your doorstep hungry, without a fish in the pouring rain.
You let me stay ‘til Sunday, loan me ten dollars again.
Understand I’m just a no good man. Treat me like the dog I am!
I never called you on your birthday, I don’t know your sister’s name.
I leave you every Christmas, Baby, but you love me just the same.
Understand I’m just a no good man. Treat me like the dog I am!
Bridge:
I don’t know what you see in a poor old fool like me.
I owe you more than I can say, still you never drive me away!
If you feed me I’ll keep comin’ around, just like the neighborhood hound.
I was out last night raisin’ sand. Here I come back again.
Understand I’m just a no good man. Treat me like the dog I am!
(Instrumental)
