lyrics

I find it hard to believe
Just how lovely you are
I stayed awake all last night
To wait for the morning star
Have to say, I’ve seen better
Have to say, you’re the
Brighter star by far.

And I’m down here on all fours
Too ashamed to take your fair hand
In one of my hairy paws
I’m the Beast to your Beauty
Your loyal servant as well
‘Cos you see
You make a dog out of me.

You’ve got me bringing you sticks
Got me jumping through hoops
My heart is a fighter jet
Doing multiple loop-the-loops
If I don’t get to kiss you soon
I’ll wake the neighborhood
Howling at the moon.

You leave me dazzled and drunk
I’ve waited my whole life
For someone like you
And the waiting stank
I’ve no choice but to love you
I’ll never say to you
“Please, please set me free”
You make a dog, you make a dog out of me
You make a dog, you make a dog out of me
You make a dog out of me, baby.

And no matter how long I have to wait
I’m going nowhere
I’m going nowhere without you
I don’t care what I have to o
For you to feel the same
I’ll do anything a dog can do

Except drool on your knee
Or beg for a bone
And bury it under the chestnut tree
‘Cos a man must have limits
Yes, a man must
Preserve his dignity.

So, no more soppy verse
That proclaims you
The brightest, most heavenly
Star in the Universe
I must woo you and win you
Like a man, though I know
To some degree

You always will make a dog out of me
You always will make a dog out of me
You always will make a dog out of me, baby,
You always will make a dog out of me
You always will make a stupid dog out of me
You always will make a dog out of me, baby,
You make a dog out of me.
