Lyrics

[Intro]
Listen to me
Uh, uh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
[Verse 1]
Do you know how much you want him?
You're tryna be cool about it
You're tryna be big about it
You're constantly just denying
You're like a moth to a flame
Can hardly wane
But listen, 'cause I know what I'm saying
He's tryna catch you in it
And then he will back you in it
'Cause he's just another girl addict
And if you give it away (Give it away)
You've gotta be crazy, crazy
[Chorus]
See it, stop
You better shake him off before he gets you
He's coming to get you, he's coming to get you
Stop, he'll only build you up and then forget you
He's dirty to the bone, beware of the dog
[Verse 2]
Well, I was damn near addicted
I got into trouble with him
I got in the bubble with him
Where everything was just how he wanted
Oh, but then I got wise, I got out of sight
So take my advice
[Chorus]
See it, stop
You better shake him off before he gets you
He's coming to get you, he's coming to get you
Stop, he'll only build you up and then forget you
He's dirty to the bone, beware of the dog (See it)
You better shake him off before he gets you
He's coming to get you, he's coming to get you
Stop, he'll only build you up and then forget you
He's dirty to the bone, beware of the dog
[Bridge]
I know you hear me (I know you hear me)
I know you hear me, uh, uh
You better reach out and touch me (You better reach out)
[Chorus]
See it, stop
You better shake him off before he gets you
He's coming to get you, he's coming to get you
Stop, he'll only build you up and then forget you
He's dirty to the bone, beware of the dog (He's coming to get you)
You better shake him off before he gets you
He's coming to get you, he's coming to get you
Stop, he'll only build you up and then forget you
He's dirty to the bone, beware of the dog
You better shake him off before he gets you
He's coming to get you, he's coming to get you
Stop, he'll only build you up and then forget you
He's dirty to the bone, beware of the dog (He's so dirty, he's so dirty)
[Outro]
Beware of the dog
Beware of the dog
Beware of the dog
Beware of the dog
