Junkyard Dog

I'm a jerk because I love you I'm a dick because I care Honey, my blood boils seeing you like that Hand on your hips, impatient stare Cuz what'll I do if I lose you now?

I'm a junkyard dog, and that dog has got a bite The mailman rattling in my head don't know The call's coming from inside But in many ways we're similar Eyes fixed on the exit signs Olives on the table before company arrives

But even you can't chase my blues away I can't go back to shoot the ones who hurt you All I need to know is, sometimes Do you mind if I wonder What'll I do if I lose you now?

What's it like be loved well over half of your life? Feels bad to say how much I want it How hard it's been to find I know I shouldn't compare

Sharper than every knife I own More tender than any other woman You say "Hey bud" to say "How goes it?" And sometimes: "What the fuck you think you doing?" No one's loved me so fearlessly, thought I'd never get to know So when that dog paces the yard And you lock eyes Have patience What'll I do if I lose you now?

Put your head in my lap, turn the lights down low I left a bottle in the fridge and a pot simmering on the stove For you darling It's all for you
