Treat Me Like The Dog That I Am

Mötley Crüe · New Tattoo [2000]

Red Rover, red rover

Got a bone but I can't come over

Never broken, never trained

You got me in the doghouse

On this dog chain



You treat me

Like the dog, like the dog I am

You beat me

Like the dog, like the dog I am



Oh master, go faster

You're my bitch and I'm your bastard

At the dog pound make me beg

Got me with my tail between my legs



You treat me

Like the dog, like the dog I am

You shame me

Like the dog, like the dog I am

You treat me

Like the dog, like the dog I am

You kick me

Like the dog, like the dog I am



Just beat me, just bite me, just break me

Treat me like a dog

Just blame me, just shame me, then cage me

Treat me like a dog

'Cause I need it

And I want it

And I deserve it

Treat me like a dog

Please slap me, please smack me

Crack me, whack me

And attack me



You treat me

Like the dog, like the dog I am

You shame me

Like the dog, like the dog I am

You treat me

Like the dog, like the dog I am

You kick me

Like the dog, like the dog I am

Bad Dog

Bad Dog

Bad Dog

Bad Dog

You treat me like a dog

Bad Dog

Bad Dog

Bad Dog

Bad Dog

You treat me like a dog I am

treat me

Bad Dog..........
