Lyrics

[Intro]

One, two, one, two

[Verse 1]

Why you bite my head off?

Why you bite my head off?

Why you get so pissed off?

Why you bite my head off now?

Yeah, c'mon

Why you bite my head off?

Acting such a jerk off?

Why you have to mouth off?

I got the world to worry about

[Chorus]

Yeah, if I was a dog, yeah, you would kick me down

I'd be spending the night howling 'round your house

But I ain't on a leash, yeah, well, I ain't on a chain

You think I'm your bitch, I'm fucking with your brain

[Verse 2]

Yeah, why'd you bite my head off?

Yeah

C'mon, c'mon

[Verse 3]

Well, life can be a riot

I can be the pilot

Provided that it's private

I got the world to worry about

What, c'mon

Now you got me drinking

Started to stop thinking

The whole fucking ship is sinking, sinking

I'm looking for a quick way out

[Chorus]

Yeah, well, I'm hearing the bark, and I'm feeling the bite

Yeah, I'm seeing the shark, I think I gotta hide

Well, I ain't on a leash, well, I ain't on a chain

You think I'm your bitch, I'm fucking with your brain

[Bridge]

C'mon, Paul, let's hear some bass

C'mon

Whoa

[Verse 4]

Well, why you bite my head off?

Just 'cause you are red hot?

Acting like a despot

Why you bite my head off now?

Well, why you bite my head off?

Why you bite my head off?

Why you rip the bed up?

I got the world to worry about

Woo
