Lyrics When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog - Jens Lekman

When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog

Everyday make a fine loaf of bread
And after work just before sunset
You hang down to the city park
There you’re alone with the burbs in the dark
And I’ve seen other people do that too
But they’re older than your twenty-two
They lost hope and soon they’ll be gone
They’ll just vanish with the setting sun
But I know, yes I know,
They’re flying within you again,
But I won’t let them get you
'Cause you’re my only friend
You’re my only friend
When I said I wanted to be your dog
I wasn’t coming on to you
I just wanted to lick your face
Lick those raindrops from the rainy days
You can take me for a walk in the park
I’ll be chasing every single lark
I’ll be burying all the skeleton bones
Peeing on every cold black stone
But I know, yes I know,
They’re flying within you again,
But I won’t let them eat you
'Cause you’re my only friend
My friend
My only friend
You’re my friend
