I want a dog
To curl up beside me
I want a dog
'Cause he would keep me company
I want a dog
'Cause he would look out for me
Cheer me up
When I don't think I'll make it
I want a dog
'Cause he'd try to lick my face
And he would smile
When I get home to my place
I want a dog
'Cause sometimes humans hold it all inside
I need to feel connected
I made the wrong choice
Now I must pay the price
Trapped in my body
And my, oh my
I want a dog
To lead me to the backyard
And fetch the ball
As if he was my lifeguard
I want a dog
To softly walk beside me
Guide me home
I wish I had a dog
We're keeping score
We are all rational agents
We make our deals
To try to get more famous
I made my bed
Now I am gonna lie in it, that's what I get
I just wish I had a dog
I made the wrong choice
Now I must pay the price
Trapped in my body
And my, oh my
I made the wrong choice
Now I must pay the price
Trapped in my body
And my, oh my
I want a dog
