I love like a dog

Like a dog I'll wait by your side

I'll sit, begging for an ounce of attention 

I'll do whatever you want me to

And like a dog I'll wait on your call

When you're gone it's like I'm sitting at the door

You're out of the house and will be a for awhile 

And yet I wait and whine and beg

I want to be a good dog for you

I want you to keep me around for awhile 

I'll stay loyal and true

And always listen to you

Kneeling as you sit

Hoping you'll give me a few pets

I'm a pathetic mutt

But I'll be as good as I can be 

I'll be quiet when you tell me to stop barking 

And I'll speak on your command 

I don't know many tricks 

But I hope I'm good at the ones I know

I hope I'm good enough for you to not regret keeping me

For I love like a dog 

And some people prefer cats
