Liner Notes

When I looked for challenges I stumbled over the Puppy-training Challenge by @glasscrow and it spoke to me. And for reasons unknown I put an F-chord in it (*very proud of myself*)

Lyrics

Not a Dog
by C.J. Ueberall

You asked me to fetch something while you lounge on the couch
Barely looking my way
What’s next? Lay down, roll over, beg and come?
And then you expect me to stay?

Yes, we had a moment, and I liked your touch
But that doesn’t make me your bitch
So, if you try to grab me one more time
You’ll need more than one overhand stitch

Just to make it clear, I am no dog
No stupid animal you can train
If you think you’re my boss and you make the rules
Then you are either drunk or insane

You have good sides, I don’t mind sharing my place
But I am not yours to command
I expect to be wooed, and dined and waited on
Because I am that kind of grand

Did you just tell me to be quiet and drop it?
No means no, wait, sit and stop it?
If next it is good girl or heel
I’ll show you hell so you’ll know how I feel

Just to make it clear, I am no dog
No stupid animal you can train
If you think you’re my boss and you make the rules
Then you are either dumb or insane

If you think you’re my boss and you make the rules
Then you are delusional and insane
