lyrics

found him chasing cars
crazy as a loon
a ball of fur and scars
howling at the moon
took him to the vet
scrubbed away the dirt
fed him, calmed him down, and yet
he still whines like he's hurt.

and he's your dog now
he was someone else's dog before
'til he ran right out of their door
now his tail is thumping on your floor,
yeah he's your dog now
his head is resting on your thigh
got a longing look in his eye
wond'rin' if you're gonna slip him a piece of your pie
and there ain't no use in looking back
and wondering why or how
'cause he's your dog now.

scruffy lookin' guy
he's a mongrel mutt.
one blue, one brown eye
a mix of who knows what.
when you turn out the light
he shakes himself awake
and paces round the floor all night
he's a lot to take.

but he's your dog now
sleeping at the foot of your bed
happy when you're scratching his head
never listens to a thing that you said,
well, he's your dog now
shedding over alla your stuff
growling, and grumpy and gruff
when you ask him how he's doing he always says, "ruff."
and there ain't no use in looking back
and wondering why or how
'cause he's your dog now.

you may have gotten more than what you bargained for
the day you brought that scruffy dog inside your door
but if you give him love, no one will love you more
than he,
I guarantee.

He is damaged goods
strung-out, strange old stray
he ain't yet out of his dark woods
but you've showed him a way.

and he's your dog now
when he left some other person behind
you're the person he was hopin' he'd find
dreamed about ya in his little dog mind.
yeah, he's your dog now
strutting with his four-legged stride,
his doggy mouth is smiling so wide,
so proud to be the dog who's walking right by your side
'cause there ain't no other human he would ever wanna be with anyhow.
Yeah, he's your dog now.
