Craig came up with the first draft of the lyrics, it did not take Jonathan long to adapt the lyrics, put in some double entendres, and come up with a guitar accompaniment. The first time Jonathan played the guitar part to Craig, he said, “I like that, what is it?” To which he replied, “The music for your lyrics.”
It has become their audience participation song – when they remember to tell the audience.
lyrics
Now I ain't gonna love you,
like a good man could
And I ain't gonna treat you
like I know I should
You are looking for me, but I can't be found
I'm out over yonder, messing around
I won't come back when you call me
I won't sit when you tell me to
I’m always looking around for somebody new
Well, you want loyalty...buy a dog!
Now you say baby,
come on home
But I won't come home,
if you throw me a bone
I'll come home when I want to play
Ask me to heel, I’m running away
I won't come back when you call me,
I won't sit when you tell me to
I’m always looking around for somebody new
Well, if you want loyalty...buy a dog!
Resting in the sun, stretching out
I may be home tonight, but I may be out
You got something that I want,
but nothing that I need
You tell me to stay,
I'll go as I please
I won't come home when you want me
I won't sit when you tell me to
I’m always looking around for somebody new
If you want loyalty...buy a dog!
Looking at the birds that pass me by
Chasing after things that catch my eye
I don’t have much, sort of a plan
I'm off hunting,
bring home what I can
But I won't come home when you call me,
I won't sit when you tell me to
I’m always looking around for somebody new
Well, if you want loyalty...buy a dog!
Well, if you want loyalty...buy a dog!
Well, if you want loyalty...buy a dog!
Well, if you want loyalty...buy a dog!
