The Reason A Dog

(Album: Done With Mirrors - 1985)

You keep a knocking but you can't come in
The way you love I adore
You always come never know where you been
But a, now I'm here baby to even the score

You're up, you're down
You're always running in place
Triathlon if you please
You're always begging me for a taste
But ain't up to snuff if you sneeze

Yak yak yak

Lord you give me the bends
Your head's in jail
I'll call out the law
Like The Reason A Dog
Has so many friends
He wags his tail instead of his tongue

Your older sister
She's a lot like you
She likes to grab my microphone
Now there ain't too much she won't do
Especially when we're all alone

You're up, you're down
You're always running in place
Triathlon if you please
Her mind's on rewind and erase
But you might get shot, babe
When you're shooting the breeze

Yak yak yak

Lord you give me the bends
Your heads in jail
I'll call out the law
That The Reason A Dog
Has so many friends
'Cause he wags his tail instead of his tongue
That The Reason A Dog
Has so many friends
'Cause he wags his tail instead of his tongue
Ooh ooh who who who whoooo
Ooh ooh who who who whoooo

Your older sister
She's a lot like you
And there ain't too much that she won't do
Ooh ooh who who who whooo
Ooh ooh who who who whooo

There's always something
That you got to say
I lose my mind and then I surely fade away, yeah

A yak yak yak

Lord you give me the bends
You're heads in jail
Now look what you done

That The Reason A Dog
Has so many friends
'Cause he wags his tail instead of his tongue
That The Reason A Dog
Has so many friends
He wags his tail instead of his tongue
That The Reason A Dog
Has so many friends
'Cause he wags his tail instead of his tongue...arf
