Oh, you treat me like a stray dog

Trying to find its way home

And oh, you feed me like an animal too wounded

To eat on its own

You touch my body like it's dressed in disease

And you're the only savior I need

But you don't know that while I watch you

Try to fix me, I let you

'Cause I'm only trying to give you the purpose you need

But someday, you'll see that I'm the one who's free

And maybe you'll be a stray dog with me

Then, we can run around the country

And chase the postal trucks down

We can look at the sky and wonder what it's like

To be up there instead of the ground

At the end of the day, a bird can fly away

But I'd rather have a reason I should stay

And you don't know that while I watch you

Try to fix me, I let you

'Cause I'm only trying to show you the good that I see

We both know it's true, my dog days aren't through

But I'd rather be a stray dog with you

With you

Oh, you treat me like a stray dog

Trying to find its way home

And oh, you treat me like a stray dog

Trying to find its way home

Oh, you treat me like a stray dog

Oh, you treat me like a stray dog

While I'm only trying to show you the good that I see

Oh, you treat me like a stray dog

While I'm only trying to show you the good that I see

And oh, you treat me like a stray dog
