It’s not real, the love you feel for me. It’s not real; it’s on the surface, not deep. It’s not real, the love you feel for me, the life you drained of me, the love you take from me. It’s not real, the love you feel for me, the life you drained of me, the love you take from me. But it’s not me; it’s in the way we speak. I’m not a real man, a strong man, a be-a-man kind of man. I won’t articulate for the sake of being kind. But I swear you’re in there somewhere making a fool of me.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, little doggie. Ah, ah, ah, ah, my best friend. Ah, ah, ah, ah, little body. Ah, ah, ah, ah, my best friend. It’s not real, the love you feel for me, the life you drained of me, the love you take from me. Ah, ah, ah, ah, little doggie.
