I Wanna Be Your Dog Lyrics

So messed up i want you here
In my room i want you here
Now we're gonna be face-to-face
And i'll lay right down in my favorite place
And now i wanna be your dog
Now i wanna be your dog
Now i wanna be your dog
Well c'mon
Now i'm ready to close my eyes
And now i'm ready to close my mind
And now i'm ready to feel your hand
And lose my heart on the burning sands
And now i wanna be your dog
And now i wenna be your dog
Now i wanna be your dog
Well c'mon

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

im kinda surprised that there are almost no comments on any of iggy's music. Anyways, I read that this song is actually a mishearing of a rolling stones cd that iggy pop listened to in the shower

According to Please Kill Me (which, if you haven't read, you really must), Iggy thinks it was a mishearing of the old blues song, "Baby, Please Don't Go."

this is a stooges song, first and foremost. even though iggy was the frontman of the stooges, they are very different
