Love You Like a Dog

I Used to scavenge like an animal Chew through trash, never getting full I might seem icy, but the warmth is indulgence If you find me, try to put aside judgements I can't convince you to take me back home I don't have much to try besides a hello Find my time might well be your own That's fine, just don't leave me alone 'Cause I'll run out of my tricks you taught me Wrong done behind your back 'til you spot me Tail tucked between my legs when you've caught me Fraught, distraught, and falling Out of line with the pet you knew, when you Found me like I let you do, and you Wound me tight, kept me stuck into Counting blessings I get used to I'll love you like a dog, just train me right Enough done wrong, even tame me bites But make me jump, and I'll say "how high?" Then I'll find how to fly to impress you I'll offer up my mind to you Be aligned to you Put my likes aside and lie for you Do whatever short of die for you 'Til you're satisfied, that's all justified for you I can't read your mind, but I'll try for you I'll love you like a dog would do I'll let you put me to good use I'll love you like a dog would do I'll never get you, I don't expect to I love to beg you, I live to beg you I lick scars to remember wounds My own heart can run on fumes Darkened moods you've walked me into Up to me to restart sweet hearted views I'm telling you what I can't stand Revel in devotion to a master's hands Letting moments that we "get it" make every dent I am an animal who'd rather have a known greater-than I'm but a beast, and this is my beast frame And at least it meets my needs when tamed This machine's got growing pains And a glowing flame, flowing through a brain So put a name on it, take my old one No sense of shame 'bout it, guess I don't own one You'll have to train all that in, come and change me Chain me to your aims until it strains me I'll love you like a dog, just train me right Enough done wrong, even tame me bites But make me jump, and I'll say "how high?" Then I'll find how to fly to impress you I'll offer up my mind to you Be aligned to you Put my likes aside and lie for you Do whatever short of die for you 'Til you're satisfied, that's all justified for you I can't read your mind, but I'll try for you I'll love you like a dog would do I'll let you put me to good use I'll love you like a dog would do I'll love you like a dog would do I'll let you put me to good use I'll love you like a dog would do I'll love you like a dog would do I'll let you put me to good use
