Lap Dog Lyrics

I've been meaning to make it all alright

But it's not quite as easy as I thought

Something strange about the way you say my name like I'm a dog

Who's to lay beside your leg

cause you're afraid to be alone

you're afraid of what might happen

If there's no one there to please you but yourself





So when you call me to come home and I'm not quite ready to go

It's only cause I've still got things to do

When its all been figured out

I'll sign my name on the line

You know I'm only doing this for you





I've forgotten why I have to have this job

and you know I've been working every day

I don't understand why I have to work so hard

when it's clear that I'm not getting paid

but I do it anyway, even though I know I shouldn't

but I just cant seem to stop giving in



You're afraid to be alone

You're afraid to be unhappy

but that doesn't mean they have to be the same





So when you call me to come home and I'm not quite ready to go

It's only cause I don't know what to do

When its all been figured out

I'll sign my name on the line

You know I'm only doing this for you

Even though you know I've better things to do
