The Reason A Dog Lyrics

You keep a knockin' but you can't come in
The way you love I adore
You always come never know where you been
But a, now I'm here baby to even the score


You're up, you're down
You're always running in place
Triathlon if you please
You're always beggin' me for a taste
But ain't up to snuff if you sneeze


Yak yak yak


Lord you give me the bends
Your head's in jail
I'll call out the law
Like The Reason A Dog
Has so many friends
He wags his tail instead of his tongue


Your older sister
She's a lot like you
She likes to grab my microphone
Now there ain't too much she won't do
Especially when we're all alone


You're up, you're down
You're always runnin' in place
Triathlon if you please
Her mind's on rewind and erase
But you might get shot, babe
When you're shootin' the breeze


Yak yak yak


Lord you give me the bends
Your heads in jail
I'll call out the law
That The Reason A Dog
Has so many friends
'Cause he wags his tail instead of his tongue
That The Reason A Dog
Has so many friends
'Cause he wags his tail instead of his tongue
Ooh ooh who who who whoooo
Ooh ooh who who who whoooo


Your older sister
She's a lot like you
And there ain't too much that she won't do
Ooh ooh who who who whooo
Ooh ooh who who who whooo


There's always something
That you got to say
I lose my mind and then I surely fade away, yeah


A yak yak yak


Lord you give me the bends
You're heads in jail
Now look what you done


That The Reason A Dog
Has so many friends
'Cause he wags his tail instead of his tongue
That The Reason A Dog
Has so many friends
He wags his tail instead of his tongue
That The Reason A Dog
Has so many friends
'Cause he wags his tail instead of his tongue...arf

Another SEVERLY underrated and underplayed song... actually the whole album is.

Another song where I think if you try to read too deeply into it you're going beyond what the band intended.

I think this has something to do with people love dogs so much because dogs don't talk.

In the book it says that this song was toward Stevens ex wife Cynthia because of how much she would yell and fight with him.
