You Old Dog

You old dog

This time

I will turn my life around and do it right

And this time

I will turn my life around and do it right

And this time

And this time, I really mean it, not like those

Other times

When I said I really meant it, that time

You old dog, you old dog

You old dog, you old dog

You, you old dog, you old dog, you

I bet you'd love to learn

Put them down

Put them down

Buried all my motivation in the yard

Dig 'em up

Why are all my aspirations cold and hard?

Let me guess

I watched all of my forevers last a month

Maybe less

And I've had it, and I've had it, and I

Watched the ring on my finger

Constrict into a cuff

Too spent when I went through the ringer

Too complacent to take it off

Take it off

You old dog, you old dog

You old dog, you old dog

You, you old dog, you old dog, you

You old dog, you old dog

You old dog, you old dog

You, you old dog, you old dog, you

I bet you'd love to learn

I bet you'd love to learn

I bet you'd love to learn

Something old, something new

All my life, I wanted to

Something old, something new

Something borrowed, something blue

Something you old dogs never could get from where you're tethered

And yet, I had the nerve to bark again

If this is how I am, don't kid yourself

If this is how I am, don't kid yourself

If this is how I am, you can put me down

You can put me down like the old dog I am
