Dogpound

Written by Bootsauce, from Bull, 1992



You better take what I give you, my friend
Can't believe what I see
You better walk in the light,
'Cause it's shining on me
'Cause I know you want it bad
And I know you want the truth
Don't you know I want you back
Don't you know I want you true

In this dog pound
Got nothing to do
In this dog pound
Gave up on you
(That's right)

You don't want me
I mean you too
You don't love me
But I do
(Yeah)

Cool air caresses my love
As I linger to please
Before the light shines down,
It's shining on me

'Cause I know you want it bad
And I know you want the truth
Don't you know I want you back
Don't you know I want you true

In this dog pound
Got nothing to do
In this dog pound
Gave up on you

You don't want me
I mean you too
You don't love me
But I do

In this dog pound
Got nothing to do
In this dog pound
Gave up on you

Time will caress you, my love
Red lights up ahead
Driven to whiskey at night
Set fire to my bed

'Cause I know you want it bad
And I know you want the truth
Don't you know I want you back
Don't you know I want you true

In this dog pound
Got nothing to do
In this dog pound
Gave up on you

I gave up, I gave up, I gave up on you (x 2)


Notes:

  • The audio sampled towards the end of this song seems to come from Heavy Traffic, the 1973 Ralph Bakshi film.
