And she woke my from my sleep. *Snores*
You should have heard the things she said
You know she hurt my feelings deep.
I'm gonna buy me a dog.
A dog?
A dog.
Why?
Why?
'Cause I need a friend now.
Babe, you need all the friends you can get!
I'm gonna buy me a dog,
My girl, my girl, don't love me no how.
Don't riun my song man. It's the only song I have.
It was ruined when it was wrote.
Uh, where's the verse?
She used to bring me my, my newspaper
You don't even know where it's at!
'Cause she knew where it was at.
She used to keep me so contented,
But I can teach a dog to do that.
I'm gonna buy me a dog.
You couldn't teach a dog to do that. You can only train elephants.
'Cause I need a friend now.
I need a friend now!
Now!
Yeah!
