Gimme Back My Dog

It was mine before I met you
 It was mine before I'd let you come closer and hold it and know it
 The way you once knew me
 It was mine before you knew me
 It was mine before you'd chose me and use me and lose me, refuse me
 The way you're now refusing to
 Gimme back my dog
 It was mine before I'd see you
 It was mine before I'd believe you
 When you said "I need you" it seems that you were just throwing me a bone
 And it was mine before you found me
 It was mine before you'd hound me and bound me, ground me then pound me
 Like a stray with no way home
 Like a dirty stray dog with no way home
 So come on girl, you gotta give me some credit
 It was mine before you'd go get it and pet it and let it run
 When you threw the damn thing it's ball
 And it was mine before you liked me
 It was mine before you'd try me, lie to me and try to deny me
 That you ever loved me at all, yeah so
 Gimme back my dog
