In the Doghouse

[intro] [Verse] You wake me up in the early mornin' With your demand You're relentless like a stormin' You insist it's my turn to take the mutt out But I ain't your servant I ain't your scout You point your finger All up in my face Screamin' loud Turnin' this place into a rat race But I won't back down I won't be tamed I'm standin' firm My love for the dog ain't to blame [Verse 2] You bring up bills and responsibilities It's a mess But throwin' shade at me It ain't the wisest guess You think you're right You think you've played that card But that dog's more than a chore He's my backyard [instrumental] [Verse 3] I see him waggin' in the mornin' light He needs to roam It's not about who's wrong or right It's his second home We're partners in this daily dance Not just a task Give us a chance to enhance Is that too much to ask? [Chorus] 'Cause he's not just a pet, he's family In his eyes, the love's so clear to see Through rain or shine, he waits so patiently He's the heart of our home, he's the key [instrumental] [Verse 4] So let's drop the fight, let's find a way To share the load It's not just about who's gonna stay It's the path we strode Together we can make it work Find harmony In every chore, let's not shirk Our responsibility [catchy guitar solo] [Outro] Now the day is done, the stars are out, It's time to end this little bout. We've found our peace, we've made amends, Together strong, our bond transcends. So here's to us, and here's to him, Our loyal dog, through thick and thin. We'll face each day as a team, united, In love and care, forever delighted. And as we close another chapter, We look ahead to what comes after. With every step, with every shout, We're family, without a doubt. [big finish]
