Dr. John – Doghouse Blues Lyrics

Rock

Look here, I now won't tell you
You know you done it again
Hey now, just like you said you would
And if I let you put me in this dog house
I'll be getting just that I should now

'Cause there ain't no lock on the window, no, no
There ain't no bars upon the door
But if I let you put me in the dog house
I'll be stuck, yeah, girl now, forever more

Now then, I don't need no more dogging
Don't need no scraps off the table
Tired of all your dogging, yes siree
You know that I'm more than able
'Cause when you first met me, baby
You know that I was so carefree
And now you got me doing things
Why won't you let me be, cousin?

Hey now, baby, you tell me a dog is a man's best friend

Something I don't understand
Huh, that's what kind of education you done been in
Now I wanna know why, oh why
Why you think I'm such a fool?
Well, you can stick me out in the dog house
And let my dog use the swimming pool

'Cause there ain't no lock on my window
There ain't no bars upon the door
And I'd be a fool if I would let you
Stick me out there some more

I ain't gonna go for no bone in my mouth
I ain't gon' bark when you want
I ain't gon' talk when you want
And I ain't gon' do what you think I'm all about
'Cause I ain't going for all your dogging me
If you had a guy that used to be carefree
Why can't you learn just to let him be?
'Cause he's free to be free, huh

He don't need no dogging
He don't need no dogging
He don't need no dogging
Huh, you ain't got no use for me

I know you tell me that your dog
Is going to be buried in a grave
If you got a man that love you
Why can't you think about his life you ought to save?

Sometimes I think that I would be better off in a grave

Than being with you in a dog house
Like being in a dark and lonely cave
Where ain't no locks on the windows
Ain't no bars upon the door
And I ain't gon' be all night long
Crying outdoors

'Cause I'm so tired of your dogging
Huh, of your dogging me
I'm so tired, so tired, so sad
Why can't you let me be?
Baby, now you know that I used to be
