[Verse 1]
I don't know what I want
But I want it bad
Why do I always lose what I don't have
They told me I'm a man
But I can't find my receipt
So I got to walk the dog before I sleep
Now there's a party in my mind
But I'm not on the list
They checked it once
They checked it twice
It's like I don't exist
Everybody's dancing
From their head down to their feet
So I got to walk the dog before I sleep
[Chorus]
Help me, help me make it through the dark
Help me find my way back to your arms
[Verse 2]
Let me hear you whine
Let me see you back
Come on in that kitchen
I'm here to make you scrambled eggs
I love the songs you sing to me
Underneath the sheets
But I got to walk the dog before I sleep
[Chorus]
Help me, help me make it through the dark
Help me find my way back to your arms
[Outro]
Just me and my dog
And the world outside
That's just the way it is
On this kind of night
The city's filled with pretty girls
But the bars are filled with creeps
So I got to walk the dog before I sleep
