"The Dog In You" lyrics - RICHARD THOMPSON

RICHARD THOMPSON
"The Dog In You"

It's not love that you're looking for
It's not love that you're hunting down
You're just on the train of the innocent, the frail
And you're gonna rob them

You don't mind causing pain
Or who you drive insane
Those timebombs explode years down the road
But that's not your problem

[Chorus:]
All of the pain
Again and again
To put a twinkle in your eye
All the grief
To give you some relief
And to satisfy the dog in you

Please don't say "That's the way God made me"
Please don't say "I can't help who I am"
You can't justify, you're beyond any measure
Just I get your pleasure

[Chorus:]
All the pain
Again and again
To put a twinkle in your eye
All the grief
Just to give you some relief
And to satisfy the dog in you
The dog in you
The dog in you
