| You lie awake, silent, cold
|
| Forget your words, they’re nowhere inside you
|
| Conveniently placed on a bar stool, you were there alone to say
|
| You know where you come from, but you don’t know why
|
| So you wrote me 'cause you’re not trying to be lonely
|
| Empty, heartless as could have been to me
|
| And I could see you now
|
| Lookin' like a stray dog
|
| Sleepin' next to me
|
| I could feel your heart beat
|
| Now you’re closin' in
|
| Movin' through the gray fog
|
| Stray dog, why’d I let you get so close to me?
|
| Oh, no, no, why’d I let you get so close to me?
|
| The girl you still love moved down to the deep south just to lose you
|
| Now you spend most of your time on your own drinkin', and you
|
| You say you don’t buy into all that community bullshit
|
| So you sit in silence and blame the sun, say how you
|
| Hold me 'cause you’re not trying to be lonely
|
| Empty, heartless as could have been to me
|
| And I could see you now
|
| Lookin' like a stray dog
|
| Sleepin' next to me
|
| I could feel your heart beat
|
| Now you’re closin' in
|
| Movin' through the gray fog |
| Stray dog, why’d I let you get so close to me?
|
| Oh, no, no, why’d I let you get so close to me?
|
| Hey now, lover, ask me twice
|
| And I might take you home tonight
|
| Hey now, lover, tell me once
|
| And I won’t have the strength to fend you off
|
| Hold me 'cause you’re not trying to be lonely
|
| Empty, heartless as could have been to me
|
| And I could see you now
|
| Lookin' like a stray dog
|
| Sleepin' next to me
|
| I could feel your heart beat
|
| Now you’re closin' in
|
| Movin' through the gray fog
|
| Stray dog, why’d I let you get so close to me?
|
| Oh, no, no, why’d I let you get so close to me?
|
| Oh, no, no
|
| Why’d I let you get so close to me?
|
| Oh, no, no
|
| Why’d I let you get so close to me?
|
| Oh, no, no
|
| Why’d I let you get so close to me?
|
| Oh, no, no
|
| Why’d I let you get so close to me? |
