Lyrics

Don't Take My Dog © 2015 Hayek, Osborne, Folsom

I never knew it could hurt like this
With breaking up I see all I'll miss
The only love I truly had
Now you won't give it back

Losing you doesn't make me cry
There's only one thing killing me inside
I know your lawyer is better than mine
But taking my dog is where I draw the line
Taking my dog is where I draw the line

Chorus
You can keep the house
You can keep the car
You can keep the hot tub
And the manicured yard
Don't wanna fight
I won't ask for more
Don't take what I truly love
With all my heart
You don't even like it when he barks
Please don't take my dog

I remember playing fetch
Tennis balls and Frisbees are the best
Can't you see it would be so wrong
If breaking me is all you want

Even you can't be so cruel
To hurt us both just to prove who rules
Won't you please cut me some slack
I really want my dog so bad
I really want my dog so bad

Rpt Chorus - tags

You can keep your sister
You can keep the maid
Along with the cat,
I don't think they've been spayed

You can keep my boat
With the great big hole
I hope it stalls
And you have to row, row, row

You can keep my tears
Let 'em fill your cup
When you get thirsty
You can drink 'em all up

You can keep the vows
They're broken anyway
There's only one thing that
I really want to stay (or sit or roll over)

Come here, boy!
Awwww! Good boy, good boy
