Temple of the Dog - Call Me a Dog

You call me a dog...
Well that's fair enough
Cause it ain't no use
To pretend you're wrong
When you call me out
I can't hide anymore
I have no disguise
You can't see through

You say it's bad luck
To have fallen for me
What can I do
To make it good for you
You wore me out
Like an old winter coat
Trying to be safe
From the cold

But when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful...
If I call at all

You call me a dog...

You tell me I'm low
Cause I've slept on the floor
And out in the woods
With the badgers and wolves
You threw me out
Cause I went digging for gold
And I came home with a handful of coal

But when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful...
If I call at all
And when it's my time
To call your bluff
I'll call you beautiful...
Or leave it alone

You call me a dog...
Well that's fair enough
It doesn't bother me as long as you know
Bad luck will follow you
If you keep me on a leash
And you drag me along...
