Lyrics If Only We Were Dogs - The Juliana Hatfield Three

If Only We Were Dogs

when i see you on the street
i wanna run right up
and jump all over you
but that isn’t polite
they would take me away
probably put me in jail
'cause i couldn’t behave
like a person should behave
if only we were dogs
it would be so easy to be
happy happy happy
you’d be scratching at my door when you want to be let in
and we’d wrestle in the mud ‘til i had you on your back
we’d be howling at the night, baring our teeth when we’re mad
so we know exactly where we stand
if only we were dogs
it would be so easy to be
happy happy happy
we’d lick the crumbs off plates together
and sleep all day
doing things that feel good and never
with any remorse or shame
if only we were dogs
it would be so easy to be
happy happy happy
if only we were dogs
it would be so easy to be
happy happy happy
