Jens Lekman - When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog lyrics

rate me

Everyday make a fine loaf of bread

And after work just before sunset

You hang down to the city park

There you're alone with the burbs in the dark

And I've seen other people do that too

But they're older than your twenty-two

They lost hope and soon they'll be gone

They'll just vanish with the setting sun

But I know, yes I know,

They're flying within you again,

But I won't let them get you

'Cause you're my only friend

You're my only friend

When I said I wanted to be your dog

I wasn't coming on to you

I just wanted to lick your face

Lick those raindrops from the rainy days

You can take me for a walk in the park

I'll be chasing every single lark

I'll be burying all the skeleton bones

Peeing on every cold black stone

But I know, yes I know,

They're flying within you again,

But I won't let them eat you

'Cause you're my only friend

My friend

My only friend

You're my friend
