I love this song. There has been some speculation (online) that the 'Dogs' of the title is Barry talking about his brothers Maurice and Robin.
Are you following me just like Moses to the sea
Do you think I'll give you freedom in the end
When I'm long dead and gone will your love for me go on
Will I be the one you run to in the end
And all my dogs need a friend
If this is the case, it could be Barry is talking about how he is, at this point in time in their careers, the leader of the BeeGees and steering his brothers through all the difficulties of life, with commitment but, regardless, unwillingly. This is a duty which has been forced upon him as the oldest brother and he could be mentioning how his brothers could be taking it for granted.
This is all speculation but personally I can get behind this. Love to think what anyone thinks of these lyrics and what the meaning is behind them.
