Arlis Albritton - Dog In The Yard lyrics

[Verse 1] You don't have to keep me on no chain I come a-runnin' when I hear you call my name I must not be too hard to train Took you, no time at all [Verse 2] Oh, an' you don't really like none of my friends You never really know just where I've been When I slip up on your porch at 4 A.M Like an old stray dog [Chorus] So you scratch me, you pet me And fight me and even let me win, now and then You scold me, you tease me Then you hold me and tell me I'm your friend [Post-Chorus] Well, makin' love to you, babe, ain't so hard You treat me like a dog in the yard [Verse 3] Sometimes you kick at me when I'm down And it drives you crazy when I just lay around No matter what you do, I think I've found A perfect home [Chorus] 'Cause you scratch me, you pet me And you fight me and even let me win, now and then 'Cause you scold me, you tease me Then you hold me and tell me I'm your friend [Post-Chorus] Well, makin' love to you, babe, ain't so hard You treat me like a dog in the yard [Outro] Aw, you treat me like a dog in the yard
