[Verse 1]
Still trying to run free
Still getting pulled back by my own leash
That I put on myself repeatedly
Still worried about what they think of me
When I could just lay down and go to sleep and dream
And dream
Each year aging more quickly
But I always still feel so naïve
And I get so bored when no one's playing with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I think it's too much
Sometimes I think I'd rather be
[Chorus]
Yeah, now I want to be a dog
Yeah, now I want to be a dog
Now I want to be a dog
Yeah, now I want to be a dog
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm still communicating from my tail end
I don't really see the difference
[Chorus]
Yeah, now I want to bе a dog
Yeah, now I want to be a dog
Now I want to be a dog
Yеah, now I want to be a dog
[Refrain]
And I'm still barking at a closed door
I don't really see the difference anymore
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Never met any man
That I could call my best friend
All day I laid around alone
And waited for someone I knew to get home
There's gotta be a better way
I can relate, I'm just trying to be understood
And all I really want, all I really want
Is somebody to tell me that I'm good
I'm good, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm still communicating from my tail end
I don't really see the difference
[Chorus]
Yeah, now I want to be a dog
Yeah, now I want to be a dog
Now I want to be a dog
Yeah, now I want to be a dog
[Refrain]
And I'm still barking at a closed door
I don't really see the difference anymore
[Chorus]
Yeah, now I want to be a dog
Yeah, now I want to be a dog
Now I want to be a dog
Yeah, now I want to be a dog
Yeah, now I want to be a dog
Yeah, now I want to be a dog
Now I want to be a dog
