Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You call me a dog
Well that's fair enough
'Cause it ain't no use
To pretend you're wrong
And you call me out, I can't hide anymore
I have no disguise you can't see through
[Verse 2]
You say it's bad luck
To have fallen for me
What can I do to make it good for you?
You wore me out like an old winter coat
Tryin' to be safe from the cold
[Verse 3]
Oh, but it's my turn
To throw the next stone
I call you beautiful
If I call at all
[Verse 4]
Ooh, you call me a dog
[Verse 5]
And you tell me I'm low
'Cause I slept on the floor
And out in the woods
With the badgers and the wolves
You threw me out, 'cause I went digging for gold
I came home with a handful of coal
[Verse 6]
Oh, but it's my turn
To throw the next stone
I call you beautiful
If I call at all
[Verse 7]
And when it's my turn
To call your bluff
I'll call you beautiful
Or leave you alone, yeah
[Verse 8]
Call me a dog
[Verse 9]
Well, that's fair enough
It doesn't bother me as long as you know
That bad luck will follow you
If you keep me on a leash, and you drag me along
[Verse 10]
And when it's my turn
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all, yeah
[Verse 11]
And when it's my turn
To call your bluff
Ooh, I'll call you beautiful
Or leave it alone, yeah
[Verse 12]
You call me a dog
