Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've had a question that's been preying on my mind for some time
I won't be wagging my tail for one good reason
It has to be a crime
[Verse 2]
This doghouse never was the place for me
Runner up and second best just ain't my pedigree
I was so happy, just the two of us
Until this alpha male
Turned up in the January sale
[Verse 3]
He won't love you
Like I love you
It won't be long now before that puppy goes astray
And what I like about this guy the most?
He'd be my favourite lamppost
Devil take the hindmost
[Verse 4]
Je sais que c'est dur, mais ilfaut se faire ar changement, tu vois
J'ai négligé le primordial pendant trop lengtemps crois moi
Je suis consciente, je vois bien que tu souffres, mai çá s'attenura
Car c'est d'un homme plus d'un chien don't j'ai besoin pres de moi
Cesse donc de grogner, mon choix est fait c'est comme çá
N'en fait pas trop, ton attitude risque de t'éloigner de moi
Faut que te comprennes, puisque tu dis m'aimer tant que çá
Desmormais nous sommes trois, lui toi et moi
[Verse 5]
It's a shaggy kind of story
Would I tell you if I thought it was a lie?
But when the cat's away the mouse will play,
I wouldn't dish around here
There's something fishy round here
[Verse 6]
I howl all night and I sleep all day
It takes more than a biscuit baby to chase these blues away
I've got a long enough leash
I could almost hang myself
It's a dogs life loving you baby
But you love someone else
Now he's moved by basket
I'd like to put him in a casket
I'll wear my best collar to his funeral
[Verse 7]
Ta mauvaise foi, j'aimerais bien que çá s'arrête
Me separer de toi, aujourd'hui çá trotte dans ma tête
Moi non, j'en peux plus, tu n'est q'un chien, c'est trop bête
La situation m'avait pourtant l'air dêtre des pius nette
C'est clair, que je l'aime c'est un fait, ton êgoïsme m'inquiéte
Aprés toutes ces soirées passées seuis en tête á tête
Chaque chose a une fin, et c'est la fin de la fête
Pour toi, car bientôte il n'y aura plus que lui et moi, lui et moi
[Verse 8]
To have found this perfect life
And a perfect love so strong
Well there can't be nothing worse
Than a perfect love gone wrong
[Verse 9]
To have found this perfect life
And a perfect love so strong
Well there can't be nothing worse
Than a perfect love gone wrong
[Verse 10]
(To have found this perfect life)
You said I wasn't just your Christmas toy
I'd always be your boy
(And a perfect love so strong)
I'd be your faithful companion
(Well there can't be nothing worse)
And I would follow you through every thick and thin
Don't nobody else
(Than a perfect love gone wrong)
And we don't need him
[Verse 11]
To have found this perfect life
And a perfect love so strong
Well there can't be nothing worse
Than a perfect love gone wrong
[Verse 12]
To have found this perfect life
And a perfect love so strong
Well there can't be nothing worse
Than a perfect love gone wrong
[Verse 13]
To have found this perfect life
