[Verse 1]
You call me a dog, well, that's fair enough
'Cause it ain't no use to pretend you're wrong
When you call me out, I can't hide anymore
I have no disguise you can't see through
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it's bad luck to have fallen for me
What can I do to make it good for you?
You wore me out like an old winter coat
Tryin' to be safe from the cold
[Chorus]
But when it's my time to throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful, if I call at all
Ooh, you call me a dog
[Verse 2]
You tell me I'm low 'cause I've slept on the floor
And out in the woods with the badgers and the wolves
You threw me out 'cause I went diggin' for gold
And I came home with a hand of coal
[Chorus]
But when it's my time to throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful, if I call at all
And when its my time to call your bluff
I'll call you beautiful or leave it alone, yeah
You call me a dog
[Bridge]
Well that's fair enough
It doesn't bother me as long as you know
The bad luck will follow you
If you keep me on a leash and you drag me along
[Chorus]
But when it's my time to throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful, if I call at all
And when its my time to call your bluff
I'll call you beautiful or leave it alone, yeah
You call me a dog
