Get Along Little Doggie

(album: Memories To Burn - 1985)

Everybody knows I'm an easygoing guy
I try to step on no-one's shoes
But woman of mine you get the best of me
Someday you're gonna get the news
Get along little doggie, get along
Get along little doggie, get along
Get along little doggie
If you can't get along with me

When I married you
We had a real good thing
You didn't say a doggone word
Now the honeymoon's over
Like a drunk I'm sober
You've got a way of getting on my nerves

Will you tell me I'm wrong
When you know I'm right
Ain't no wonder why I stay out at night
You disagree just to start a fight
Girl watch out or this dog's gonna bite

Everything I do is just one big mess
I really find it hard to believe
So I shut my mouth and I walk away
But then I just start to grit my teeth

Well I compromised 'til my face was blue
What in this world are we gonna do
Even Sherlock Holmes couldn't find a clue
To solve this mystery between me and you

You'll drive me to my grave
If you don't quit now
I've taken all a man can take
You've pushed me too far
So back off now
And ease on back in your place
