Todd and Janelle Lyrics

I wanna wake up in the morning with my lover
The woman I was with at 25
Ooo, sleeping's the only thing that we do under covers
And conversations all turn into fights

What's the goddamn dog barking at?

I don't know why but I been thinking 'bout my brother
I should give him a call tomorrow night
Ooo, and I will tell him 'bout the pressure that I'm under
And maybe he will have some good advice

What's the goddamn dog barking at?
Oh that kids gonna get it when he gets it back

Sometimes feels like you don't
Want me to try (x2)

And I know that you don't want
To see me cry (x2)

Oh, I thought we were gonna tell the kid to get rid of that fuckin' mutt (x2)

I wanna wake up in the morning with the girlfriend
You were before you turned into my wife
Ooo, I gave up everything for you
Why can't you see that?
You think that I don't dream of another life?

What's the goddamn dog barking at?

The kid's tearing us apart
Let's give him back

Why are you being so cold
With me tonight? (x2)

Sometimes I see nothing
Behind your eyes (x2)

Oh, I thought we were gonna tell the kid to get rid of that fuckin' mutt (x2)

Ooooh, if that's him on the phone
Tell him to not come home (x2)

Oooh, when you get off the phone
We'll finally be alone
Finally be alone

Why are you being so cold
With me tonight? (x2)

Sometimes I see nothing
Behind your eyes (x2)

Oh, I thought we were gonna tell the kid to get rid of that fuckin' mutt (x2)

Cover art for Todd and Janelle lyrics by Wolfies Just Fine

The song is based on a scene from the movie Terminator 2. In the scene, Todd, John Connor's step-father, is complaining that the dog is barking loudly. The step-mother, Janelle, isn't herself (no spoilers here).

This is basically a character study of Todd. He's in a dark place and blames it all on his step-son. At the end of the song, Todd fells hope that John may not come home and he'll be able to repair the damage done to his relationship with Janelle.
