"I Want A Dog" lyrics - WEEZER

I want a dog
To curl up beside me
I want a dog
'Cuz he would keep me company
I want a dog
'Cuz he would look out for me
Cheer me up
When I don't think I'll make it

I want a dog
'Cuz he'd try to lick my face
And he would smile
When I get home to my place
I want a dog
'Cuz sometimes humans hold it all inside
I need to feel connected

I live in a prison
There's nothing here for me
A sink and a toilet
A flickering bulb
I made the wrong choice
Now I must pay the price
Trapped in my body
And my own mind

I want a dog
To lead me to the backyard
And fetch the ball as if he was my lifeguard
I want a dog to softly walk beside me
Guide me home
I wish I had a dog

We're keeping score
We are all rational agents
We make our deals
To try to get more famous
I made my bed
Now I am gonna lie in it
That's what I get
I just wish I had a dog

I want a dog
