The Reason a Dog

(Tyler/Hamilton)
(Original Album: Done With Mirrors, 1985)



You keep knockin 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
Your'e always running in place
Triatatholon if you please
Your'e always begging me for a taste
But I ain't up to snuff if you sneeze
Yak yak yak
Lord you give me the bends
Heads and tails
Your'e all out of love
Like the reason a dog
Has so many friends
He wags his tail instead of his tongue
 

You're 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
Triathalon if you please
Her minds on rewind and erase
You might get shot babe
When you're shooting the breeze
Yak yak yak
Lord you give me the bends
You're heads and tails
are calling for love
like the reason a dog
has so many friends
he wags his tail instead of his tongue
 

like the reason a dog
has so many friends
he wags his tail
insted of his tongue
ooh ooh ooh whoo
ooh ooh ooh whoo
Your'e older sister she's alot like you
And there ani't too much that she won't do
ooh ooh ooh whoo
ooh ooh ooh whoo
There's always something
That you got to say
I lose my mind and then I
surely fade away Yeah
Yak yak yak
Lord you give me the bends
Your'e heads and tails
Now look what you done
cause the reason a dog
has so many friends
he wags his tai instead of his tongue
repeat repeat Owooo (howl)
