Like My Dog (Demo) - Scotty Emerick

He never tells me that he's sick of this house He never says, "Why don't you get off that couch?" He don't cost me nothin' when he wants to go out I want you to love me like my dog He never says I need a new attitude Him and my sister ain't always in a feud When I leave the seat up, he don't think that's rude I want you to love me like my dog does baby When I come home want you to just go crazy He never looks at me like he might hate me I want you to love me like my dog He never acts like he don't care for my friends He never asks me "Where 'n the hell have you been?" He don't play dead when I want to pet him I want you to love my like my dog does, honey He never says, "I wish you made more money" He always thinks that pull my finger's funny I want you to love me like my dog He don't get made at me and throw a major fit When I say his sister is a bitch I want you to love me like my dog does, baby When I come home, want you to just go crazy He never looks at me like he might hate me I want you to love me like my dog I want you to love me like my dog does, baby

In all that it takes in all that it shows The higher the stakes the lower the blows And all the mistakes that he's never known Whatever it takes he'll be stealing the show Now he nervously shakes when we rattle his stage But he's happy to be stuck back in his halcyon days Now we're trying hard to reconcile a history of shame But he reinforced the barriers that keep it the same If you treat me like a dog And keep me locked in a cage I'm not relaxed or comfortable I'm aggravation and shame If you treat me like a dog Yeah you treat me like a dog But it's a fine fine time for the people in the lucky land In all that it takes in all that it shows The higher the stakes the lower the blows Now he nervously shakes when we rattle his stage But he's happy to be stuck back in his halcyon days Now we're trying hard to reconcile a history of shame But he reinforced the barriers that keep it the same If you treat me like a dog And keep me locked in a cage I'm not relaxed or comfortable I'm aggravation and shame If you treat me like a dog And keep me locked in a cage I'm not relaxed or comfortable I'm aggravation and rage If you treat me like a dog And keep me locked in a cage I'm not relaxed or comfortable I'm aggravation and rage
