A friendly face, a kind of face that melts you with a grin The kind of eyes that welcome you the minute you walk in. A tender glance you simply can't refuse. It's times like this a girl could use… A dog.
He listens when you tell him things, there's nothing you can't say, And unlike certain people, you can teach him how to stay. And if the world is giving you the blues, He cheers you up by chewing up the news. It's things like that that make you choose… A dog.
Other people need romance, dancing, playing around, Other people need constant fun, Well, I'm not one. I have my feet on the ground.
A quiet night, a stack of books, a tuna melt on rye, A simple walk together underneath a starry sky, And suddenly, the night is something rare, And all because there's someone special there. Who's gazing at the views, his head upon your shoes. It's times like this I sure could use… A dog.
