Call Off Your Dogs Lyrics

Hello
I'm not gonna bit you
I just wanna fight, you
Got me wishing that I'd never said
Hello
I don't want to fight you
I don't got a right to
This is what I get for being
Civilized
I apologize
And I'll let you go in a minute
If you want it
Goodbye
Is not what I want to say
You took my salutations
And threw them away

Call off your dogs
Listen when I call
I know there's something wrong with the limits
We got turned around but we can spin it

Call off your dogs
What's with the walls?
If we're strong we can win it
One word can begin it:
Hello

I got a right to call you baby
I got a right to say hello
And remember when you used to like it baby
And it wasn't that long ago
This is what I get for being
Civilized
I apologize
And I'll let you go in a minute
If you want it
Goodbye
Is not what I want to say
You took my salutations
And threw them away

Call off your dogs
Listen when I call
I know there's something wrong with the limits
We got turned around but we can spin it

Call off your dogs
What's with the walls?
If we're strong we can win it
One word can begin it:
Hello

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.
