You know my girl just called me up
And she woke me from my sleep
You should have heard the things she said
You know she hurt my feelings deep.
I`m gonna buy me a dog [A dog, a dog! Why?]
`Cause I need a friend now. [Say, you need all the friends you can get]
I`m gonna buy me a dog,
My girl, my girl, don`t love me no how.
She used to bring me my newspaper
`Cause she knew where it was at.
She used to keep me so contented.
But I can teach a dog to do that.
I`m gonna buy me a dog,
`Cause I need a friend now
I`m gonna buy me a dog,
My girl, my girl, don`t love me no how.
