Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You call me a dog
Well, that's fair enough
There ain't no use
To pretend you're wrong
When you call me out
Can't hide anymore
I have no disguise
You can't see through
[Verse 2]
You swear 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]
But when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all
Yeah, when you call me a dog
[Verse 4]
You tell me I'm low
'Cause I've 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 hand of coal
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Yeah, when you call me a dog
That's fair enough
It doesn't bother me, yes
Long as you know
Bad luck will follow you
If you keep me on a leash
And you drag me along
You drag me along
Yeah, hey
[Verse 7]
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, so you call me a dog
[Verse 8]
Thank you
