lyrics

i sit on the floor and look up at my man
i whine at him all day, but he don't understand
i don't like canned food or food in a bag
my man ignores me no matter how hard i nag

my man he treats me like i'm paying for a crime
i could sit and whine at him all day, but my man pays me no mind

i walk to the table and sit at his feet
i give him those eyes so he'll give me some meat
he acts like a blind man, like he's got special needs
if i was a seeing-eye dog i'd always get my feed

my man he treats me like he lives all alone
he eats up all the red meat, he don't even throw me a bone

i found him a rabbit, i found him a squirrel
i'm always a good dog 'round the next door girl
i don't do doo-doos on the front lawn
i don't hump the post lady when my man is gone

my man he treats me like i'm here for free rent
i'll be the first thing on his mind when his last dollar is spent

i walked into a bar, my man was having a drink
he was telling a joke about a dog walking into a bar, i think
i said "funny joke, but don't look at me funny
you never knew i could talk 'cause you never talk to me"

my man he treats me like all he needs is booze and smokes
i guess it's like they say, you can't teach an old man new jokes
